Viability of a new Selwyn in question?
The viability of the new Selwyn District could be in question if Wairewa and Akaroa were left out and parts of rural Paparua on the urban boundary went into the new Christchurch City, the Malvern Country chairman believes. Mr George Wright asked the Local Government Commission to look carefully at the boundary between Selwyn District and Christchurch City. Malvern favoured a Pound Road, Marshes
Road, Hodges Road, Landsdowne Valley boundary, he said. If Wairewa and Akaroa Counties were to be included in a separate Banks Peninsula authority, a large area would be lost to Selwyn, Mr Wright said. His council supported the arguments for a separate peninsula district, he said. The possible loss of the peninsula authorities made the area on the fringe of Christchurch
City crucial to the new Selwyn. The commission was already aware of how Templeton and Yaldhurst residents felt about their inclusion in the city, he said. Mr Jim Baker, the chairman of the Paparua rural districts council, presented the commission’s chairman, Mr Brian Elwood, with a petition requesting a revision of the Selwyn-Christchurch boundary.
