Explanatory Note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect and intent
This order amends four reorganisation schemes altering the boundary between Waikato District and Hamilton City. The schemes transferred several areas from Waikato District to Hamilton City to align the boundary to the route of a new expressway being built by the New Zealand Transport Agency to the north and east of Hamilton. This ensured that pockets of Waikato District would not be left between the City and the Expressway.
The two councils requested the Commission to make a determination (which this order gives effect to) amending the reorganisation schemes to:
(a) adjust the new boundaries so that they would more closely align with the existing property boundaries; and
(b) clarify the application of certain Hamilton City Council bylaws to the area transferred to the City.
