MOVED by Chairperson E Collins, seconded by Member MA Gush:  

a)    That an extraordinary item of business relating to New Road Names Approval for the subdivision by Housing New Zealand at 62 Birdwood Avenue, Papatoetoe be considered at agenda item 22.

b)   That this item needs to be considered before the next  meeting of the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board because 7 new units have been completed since 27 February 2015 and cannot be tenanted until a street name has been approved, an address for each unit is allocated and the survey plans are lodged with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). 

c)    There are many families on the Housing Register waiting for a home in the area and some existing elderly tenants are also being relocated from existing Housing New Zealand apartments to the new units 6 and 7 that have been designed for persons with mobility issues. Additionally having the units unoccupied is also a security risk.
