Talk:Regions of New Zealand

message: Is there a need for this page to exist separately from the Territorial Authorities of New Zealand? It seems redundant to me. Could they be combined? Bkonrad | Talk 01:09, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map of New Zealand Regions 

message: The page says there are 12 regions and 5 unitary authorities, which comes to 17 entities, but the list and the map both have 16. Can this be corrected or explained please? 62.31.55.223 11:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: It doesn't add up

message: I added a Governance section which I thought was missing. The article didn't explain how the Councils were governed, and whether they were elected or apointed and by whom (voters, territorial councils or the central Government). I've only added a likkle bit based on what I was able to find here. I'm not from NZ and not familiar with the system, but somebody else may be able the expand a little bit. I thought [Elections NZ might also have been useful but haven't been able to find anything there yet. -- Adz|talk 11:41, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be because Hastings is technically a district, not a city. Napier is a city. See the third paragraph of Hastings, New Zealand and the second paragraph of Napier, New Zealand for an explanation.--118.93.41.78 (talk) 19:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Should we be including Fiordland as a region when it's no longer an Official region? Yes it's a geographical area (region), but since it's been part of Southland for a while now, should it be dropped from the Regions of New Zealand ?

message: The beginning of the article says that "the Chatham Islands Council ... is officially recognised as a part of the region of Canterbury". The section on areas not in regions says that "the Chatham Islands is not in a region". So which is it? —Felix the Cassowary 02:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Can knowledgeable people please add a section on funding. The only ref now is briefly to income from rates, but that is a tiny part of the story. Only part of rates goes to regions, most goes to TAs, and regions get other income too. Also what do they spend, including contracting TAs for some services.

message: Any objections to separating the english and re reo region names out into different columns? It's more usable data that way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.224.122.102 (talk) 23:44, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Map is incorrect. Basically every source I can find uses a map like this. Suggest changing it. Jakoats02 (talk) 07:56, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you saying the boundaries are incorrect, or that the names should be shown directly on the map, or is there something else you believe is wrong on the map?-gadfium 21:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

text: The link is to a tourism website that seeks to promote the different regions of New Zealand, but not to show political boundaries. This article is about the political (local government) regions of New Zealand so the map that you have provided is not relevant in this context. The map that you provided also contains a combined Nelson-Tasman region. While I personally believe that they should not be separate regions, it does not change the fact that they are politically defined as separate regions with separate councils. The map in the article is correct.   MangoMan11 (talk) 09:00, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
