iii)   tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the options for extending the Waiuku Subdivision boundary include moving its boundary close to Pukekohe to include communities that associate with Pukekohe or moving the Waiau Pa community into the Waiuku Subdivision

iv)   tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that the board concurs that either option would split communities of interest, and that any benefits from boundary change are not required at this time

vi)   tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that the representation review considers a range of proposals that that are outside the scope of the Franklin Local Board’s insight. The board strongly recommends that, in assessing submissions,  the Joint Governance Working Party prioritise the views of local board submissions on matters directly relating to their own board area over the views of elected representatives with no accountability to the residents who will be affected by the outcome of the review

d)      whakahē / decline the opportunity to speak to its submission in front of the JGWP at the hearing.
