Surely, however, the same reasoning could be used to split all the two member wards. Smaller one member wards would provide much better representation and be far easier to equalise populations (come to think of it- why didn't they simply align the councillors to the federal elctorates?) . How can one councillor look after Wests Harbour and Orewa at the same time- totally different communities. Good to see they split Orakei from Maungakiekie.

This should give it enough for two councilors, especially considering future population growth in this ward will make the deviation even worse.
