New Road Name Approval for the residential subdivision
by OMC Construction Limited at 890 Great South Road, Manurewa
File No.: CP2016/25666
Purpose
1. The
purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board, for
new road names for the five roads created by way of subdivision at 890 Great
South Road, Manurewa.
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria
of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria
have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for
the Auckland Council.
3. Following
assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Totara
Meadows Court’ for Road 1, ‘Fay Close’ for Lane 1,
‘Duin Lane’ for Lane 2, ‘Adina Lane’ for Lane 3 and
‘Ibister Lane’ for Lane 4 (applicant’s preferred road names),
‘Tim Lane’, ‘Cork Lane’, ‘Faris Lane’,
‘Rory Lane’, ‘Lennon Lane’, ‘Pompeii Lane’
and ‘Tague Lane’ (alternate names) were determined to meet
the road naming guideline criteria.
4. Local
iwi groups were consulted. Responses were received from Ngai Tai ki Tamaki,
Makaurau Marae Maori Trust and Ngati Whatua. No comments on the proposed names
or suggested alternative names were offered by the iwi groups.
5. The names ‘Totara Meadows Court’ for Road 1, ‘Fay
Close’ for Lane 1, ‘Duin Lane’ for Lane 2, ‘Adina
Lane’ for Lane 3 and ‘Ibister Lane’ for Lane 4, proposed by
the Applicant and the names ‘Tim Lane’, ‘Cork Lane’,
‘Faris Lane’, ‘Rory Lane’, ‘Lennon Lane’,
‘Pompeii Lane’ and ‘Tague Lane’, are considered for
approval by the Local Board.
|
Recommendation/s
a) That the Manurewa Local Board, pursuant to
section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval,
the road names Totara Meadows Court for Road 1, Fay Close for Lane 1, Duin Lane for
Lane 2, Adina Lane for Lane 3 and Ibister Lane for Lane 4, proposed by the Applicant, for
the new roads created by way of subdivision at 890 Great South Road,
Manurewa while noting that Tim Lane, Cork Lane, Faris Lane, Rory Lane, Lennon
Lane, Pompeii Lane and Tague Lane, also meet the road
naming criteria.
|
Comments
6. The
Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that
where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development,
the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their
preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.
7. The proposed road naming relates to a subdivision at 890 Great South
Road, Manurewa granted in 2015 to create 55 residential lots and to construct
56 new dwellings. As a result of this subdivision, a new road is created and
four lanes that each serve six or more lots. The new road (Road 1) comes off
Great South Road, and the new lanes come off Road 1. In total, there are five
roads that will need to be named for this subdivision (46205, SP11667).
8. The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the road created as part
of the development at 890 Great South Road, Manurewa.

Decision Making
9. The
Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022),
allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section
319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.
Assessment
10. The
Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria
set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;
11. One
of the criteria states that, “The use of given or first names in
conjunction with a surname is not normally acceptable, but may be considered if
required to provide uniqueness for a significant name e.g. Kate Shepherd
Drive”. It is therefore considered that the proposed names “Colleen
May Close”, “Colleen Adams Close”, and “Ian Clark
Lane” do not meet this criterion.
12. All other proposed road names meet the criteria set out in the road
naming guidelines.
13. The proposed suffixes of ‘close’ or ‘court’
for Road 1, and ‘lane’ or ‘close’ for Lanes 1 to 4 (as
marked on Figure One above) are appropriate. ‘Close’ and
‘court’ are both described as a ‘short, enclosed
roadway’. ‘Lane’ is described as a ‘narrow roadway
between walls, buildings or a narrow country roadway’. These fit the
characteristics of the roads that are to be named.
14. As the Applicant’s preferred names (‘Totara Meadows
Court’ for Road 1, ‘Fay Close’ for Lane 1, ‘Duin’
Lane for Lane 2, ‘Adina Lane’ for Lane 3 and ‘Ibister
Lane’ for Lane 4) meets the criteria, they are recommended for
consideration for approval.
Consideration
Significance of Decision
15. The
decision sought from the Manurewa Local Board for this report does not trigger
any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on
the community.
Maori
impact statement
16. The
decision sought from the Manurewa Local Board on this report is linked to the
Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point
of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings
and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori
identity.
Consultation
17. All
relevant iwi groups were contacted by email to seek feedback on the proposed
names. The responses received were as follows:
· An automated reply
from Ngati Whatua Orakei stating they would reply within 24 hours, but no
response was received. The applicant’s agent followed up on it but still
no response was received.
· Zaelene
Maxwell-Butler of Ngai Tai ki Tamaki emailed the agent on the 27th
October 2016, querying the reasoning behind the choice of names. The agent
responded to that email and since then has not had further correspondence from
Ngai Tai ki Tamaki. The agent followed up and still received no response.
· Kowhai Olsen of
Makaurau Marae Maori Trust responded that they defer interest to Ngati Whatua
Orakei.
· Tame Te Rangi of
Ngati Whatua asked which Iwi had responded. The agent sent a list of the
responses he had received.
18. Consultation with NZ Post had been undertaken, and Geoff Pearce on
behalf of NZ Post confirmed that all proposed names (preferred and alternates)
are acceptable to them.
Financial and Resourcing Implications
19. The
cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any
installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with
Council’s Administrative Charges.
Legal and
Legislative Implications
20. The
decision sought from the Manurewa Local Board for this report is not considered
to have any legal or legislative implications.
Implementation
21. The
Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name
signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new
road name.
