N03-009 Linton Little Objection Name

Linton Little


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Linton Little

In my humble opinion 'Hibiscus Coast' would be a better name than 'Whangaparaoa'.
The proposed boundaries cover a greater area more commonly known as The Hibiscus Coast rather than just the Whangaparaoa Peninsular.
N03-010 Jack Wolfe Objection Name

Jack Wolfe


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Jack Wolfe

I object to the proposed new name "Whangaparaoa". Whangaparaoa is a very small portion of the electorate.

Suggested solution

I believe a better name would be Hibiscus Coast. It would better reflect the area of the electorate.
N03-011 Wendy Cohen Objection Name

Wendy Cohen


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Wendy Cohen

Whangaparaoa denotes the Peninsula not the region. Hibiscus Coast would be a better name for the region in line with the local board names.

Suggested solution

Hibiscus Coast
N03-012 Clare Baker Objection Name

Clare Baker


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Clare Baker

I believe the electorate should be called Hibiscus Coast.
This is more inclusive of all the areas included in the proposed new electorate.
N03-013 Joan Adams Objection Name

Joan Adams


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Joan Adams

I object to the name of Whangaparaoa for the new proposed electorate.

Suggested solution

I think that the name Hibiscus Coast would much better select the larger area that the new electorate will cover
N03-014 Neil Lindsay Objection Name

Neil Lindsay


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Neil Lindsay

The newly created electorate of Whangaparoa is a much needed creation for a growing area. However, its new name does not reflect the area. The area from Shakespeare Park in the east and Orewa in the west has long been referred to as the "Hibiscus Coast". The people in it call themselves Coasties, and the community facebook page is referred to as "Hibiscus Coast", and when elsewhere a member will say they hail from "the Hibiscus Coast", not Whangaparoa. Whilst a lovely little place, Whangaparaoa is the name of the peninsula, bay, and suburb, but NOT the entire area.

Suggested solution

Simply change the name to Hibiscus Coast. Our local and current MP Mark Mitchell agrees, as well as numerous others in the Hibiscus Coast facebook page, which I suggest may be a good point of call for seeing our community spirit :)
N03-015 Mr Denis Graham Objection Name

Mr Denis Graham


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Mr Denis Graham

I believe that this electorate would be better named “Hibiscus Coast” as this would be more representative of the whole Electorate rather than just the bit that sticks out as a peninsula.
Hibiscus Coast is a well established name and is far more meaningful to the proposed electoral area overall. Whangaparoa forms part of the Hibiscus Coast area along with Orewa, Silverdale, Millwater, Hadfields Beach etc that do not consider themselves as part of Whangaparoa.

Suggested solution

Change of name from Whangaparoa to Hibiscus Coast.
N03-016 Rachel Shaffett Objection Boundary, name

Rachel Shaffett


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Rachel Shaffett

I'm European Maori dual Citizen (NZ & Canada) living with my 4 kiwi kids in Stanmore Bay (in Rodney the last 10yrs) & love Mark's idea of changing this new Electoral area from the long/difficult name of Whangaparoa to Hibiscus Coast, as our trees on the Coast reflect!
Hibiscus Coast is a great name to attract International Business & get better paying jobs for our Youth & Families, hopefully!!! Praying the HB name sticks!
Well done on the boundary line choice!!!
N03-017 Professor Graeme Wake Objection Name

Professor Graeme Wake


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Professor Graeme Wake

In view of the area encompassed, in which I reside, a more appropriate name would be "Hibiscus Coast".

Suggested solution

Rename as "Hibiscus Coast".
N03-018 Mrs Sue Donoghue Objection Name

Mrs Sue Donoghue


Objection

Whangaparāoa
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Mrs Sue Donoghue

As the new electorate is now proposed to take in Coatsville I do not feel that Whangaparaoa is a true reflection of the area

Suggested solution

I suggest that we call the electorate either Hibiscus Coast or perhaps even retain the name of Rodney
