Three wards with 9 councillors

Under this option, the existing Springs and Ellesmere wards would combine into a single new ward, Springs-Ellesmere. Selwyn Central and Malvern wards would remain, but with altered boundaries. The major changes include

• West Melton moving from the current Selwyn Central ward to the Malvern ward
• The area around Bankside moving from Ellesmere to the Malvern ward
• An area east of Rolleston moving from the current Selwyn Central ward into the Springs-Ellesmere ward.

The total number of councillors would reduce from 11 to 9.
