| N04-017 | Frances Dickinson | Objection | Boundary | |
Frances DickinsonObjection
Helensville
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change
Frances DickinsonI do NOT want our electorate boundaries to change. I live in Leigh and would like to remain as part of Rodney, where we have a strong local board who represent our needs accurately and fairly. Changing our electoral boundaries will mean increased confusion on how to get practical solutions delivered to our already lacking services (we are part of Auckland and still struggle to get basic needs met such as road repairs) and we are not even close to Hellensville - our new proposed area.Suggested solutionKeep the electoral boundary the same. |

Barbara LarsenObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Barbara LarsenA large, northern, part of the present Rodney electorate is to be incorporated into part of the present Helensville electorate. The name Helensville for this new electorate is inappropriate and gives an inaccurate picture. Helensville is one town on the extreme west of the new electorate and bears no relationship to the towns and districts to the east. These towns and districts will be disadvantaged by the name HelensvilleSuggested solutionUse the name Rodney. Most of the area within the new boundary has been part of Rodney electorate in the past and the name is synonymous with this location. Rodney is clear, non specific and in line with the local government board name. |

David InglisObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
David InglisIt appears short sighted to name the proposed new electorate after a small declining town on the edge of the area. Warkworth is due to grow by up to 20000 in the next two decades, and will be the central focus of the electorate.Suggested solutionName the electorate Warkworth. |

Ruth MintonObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Ruth MintonThe area of the new proposed electorate including Wellsford, TeHana etc does NOT suit at all. The residents do not consider themselves Helensville at all.In fact, it takes approx. an hour to drive from Wellsford to the township of Helensville. Helensville is a township name, not an electorate area name. Why not keep the name of Rodney. This name covers the current local body election area in question too. People relate to this region name already. Suggested solutionRodney. |

Mrs Susan CrockettObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Mrs Susan CrockettChange the name of the proposed Helensville electorate.I live in rural Wellsford, currently Northland Electorate. There are logical reasons for Wellsford to be part of Northland ie "Wellsford is the gateway to Northland" Although I was expecting a change of electorate and aligning the boundary with the Auckland City boundary makes sense, the name Helensville makes no sense to me and even less to friends living in Matakana, Warkworth and further east. Helensville is a town and does not reflect the district within the proposed electorate boundary. Suggested solutionKeep the name Rodney as the area covered by the proposed Helensville electorate is pretty close to the area covered by the Rodney Ward of Auckland City. |

Christian PolandObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Christian PolandI object to the name "Helensville" given Helensville objectively has a smaller population than Warkworth, which is also in the proposed electorate. The name Helensville seems like an arbitrary continuation. It does not unite the electorate, most of which was previously in the Rodney electorate which Warkworth as a community better aligned with.Suggested solutionI support Beth Houlbrooke's idea to call the electorate 'Atanui' (Mount Auckland). It overlooks the Kaipara Harbour, which is probably the only aspect that the different communities in this proposed electorate share. The option of 'Kaipara' is also appealing. |

Beth HoulbrookeObjection
Helensville
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Beth HoulbrookeThe proposed Helensville electorate extends north and east to Warkworth, Wellsford, and the Kowhai Coast. The name 'Helensville' does not relate to these communities at all and will cause confusion with the removal of the name 'Rodney' altogether. North Rodney residents in particular already feel disenfranchised by being part of 'Auckland', so will feel a loss of identity.Suggested solutionThe Helensville electorate needs to be renamed to more accurately and inclusively represent the residents over what is now a very large geographical area touching both coasts, and rural farmland in between.My suggested name changes: 1) Atuanui Atuanui, or Mt Auckland, is the highest point in the electorate and from which there would be views of the entire electorate, coast to coast, north and south. 2) Rodney The new boundaries of the Helensville electorate appear to follow those of the Rodney Ward and Rodney Local Board of Auckland Council, with the small exception of the Coatesville/Dairy Flat area. Most people who live in the Helensville electorate would consider that they are part of Rodney. |
