Resolution number MO/2017/23
MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene,
seconded by Deputy Chairperson W Togiamua:
That the
Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board:
a) Approve an
extraordinary item of business relating to the New Road Name Approval for the
residential subdivision by Top Picks 2012 Ltd at 134 McKenzie Road, Mangere report
at agenda item 27.
b) Agrees that
this item is extraordinary and should be considered before the next meeting
of the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board because the developer has been making
proactive efforts to contact and receive responses from local iwi around this
road naming application. Roads need to be named before subdivisions and
house sales are finalised, so holding costs may be incurred by developers,
and the developer has raised this as an issue in this case.

Purpose
1. The
purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Mangere–Otahuhu Local
Board, for the naming of a private way for an 8 lot residential development at
134 McKenzie Road, Mangere. The development is nearly complete and all 8
houses have contracts for sale and are ready for occupation by the buyers.
2. The
developer has suggested three possible names for the private way and has
circulated them to the local iwi groups for comment.
Executive
summary
3. 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.
4. Local
iwi groups were consulted about the name Kiana Lane (the
applicant’s initial suggested road name) and the two other suggested
names. The response received from Te Akitai Waiohua suggested Ararata Lane which
they advised is the original Maori name for the nearby Black Bridge stream.
5. Following
assessment, the suggested road names Ararata Lane and Kiana Lane
were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.
6. The
name Ararata Lane as now proposed by the applicant as his first choice,
and is recommended for approval by the local board.

7. The
Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed 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 Council’s approval.
8. The
private way to be named serves an 8 lot residential
development at 134 McKenzie Road, Mangere. The development is nearly
complete and all 8 houses have contracts for sale and are ready for occupation
by the buyers.
9. The Applicant has
proposed for consideration the following names for the private way.

The applicant, Mr Tony
Stevenson’s request was accompanied by a letter which explained his
reasons for choice of his suggested names:
The following is an
extract from his letter dated 17 February:
“These
names were chosen due for a variety of reasons. Because they hadn’t been
used, we had referred to the ROW throughout development as Kiana Bella Lane
(Bella is already being used) even though we did not think we needed a street
name and the name can be translated to Moon Goddess which seems appropriate
opposite the Mangere Bridge cemetery (looking over the residents at night). The
third choice translates to protector (similar reasons to the 2nd
choice).”
“In
stating my 3 preferences I have absolutely no problem if the local Iwi want
another street name due to any cultural significance of the area, I respect
their decision. I am not sure what the process is but if they don’t
accept these names I would like them to name the street rather than myself come
back with some further names which still may not be suitable.
As this was
not a condition of my Resource Consent it came as a huge surprise at this late
stage of the development (we are about to lodge 224c and apply for CCC’s
in the next 2 weeks). All 8 houses have been sold and there are 8 families very
keen to move in asap.
I understand
and respect the process this needs to go through but any assistance you can
give to help speed this up for purchasers and my (have bank facility expiring
and high holding costs) would be very much appreciated. If I can provide any
further assistance myself, please just let me know.”
Mr Stevenson amended his
initial request on 9th March 2017 following receipt of the response
from Te Akitai Waiohua as noted above.

Consultation
10. The
applicant Mr Tony Stevenson has circulated his suggested names to the list of
Iwi representatives and has received replies that are summarised as follows:
·
Kowhai Olsen - Te Ahiwaru – Waiohua,
(Makaurau Marae Maori Trust) -
a) has no objection to any of the suggested names;
b)
·
Nigel Denny – Te Akitai Waiohua – advised Mr Stevenson that his application for a name
for the private way was tabled at the meeting on 8th March. Te
Akitai Waiohua offered Ararata Lane for consideration as it is the original
Maori name for the nearby Black Bridge stream, and,
c)
·
Tame Te Rangi – Ngati Whatua –
advises that they defer their Mana Whenua interests to Te Akitai.
d)
·
At the date of preparation of this report no
other responses had been received.
e)
Mr Stevenson
subsequently advised that he wished to request Ararata
Lane as his first choice, Kiana Lane as the second choice and Marama Lane as
the third choice.
Decision Making
11. 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
12. The
Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria
set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;
13. The
names Ararata Lane as
now proposed and Kiana Lane his initial preference, meet all the criteria of the road naming
guidelines.
Of the alternative
suggested names, Marama is already in use in Castor Bay (North
Shore) and Epsom, so it is not acceptable by itself as a road name.
Of the other suggested
names from Mr Stevenson, neither Atua or another initial suggestion, Kaitiaki
have been used in the Auckland Council area. They meet the criteria of
the council’s road naming guidelines, so either of these names would also
be acceptable for use if desired;
Conclusion
14. As
the applicant’s preferred name Ararata Lane meets the criteria, but subject to further comments being received
from the iwi groups contacted, the name Ararata Lane is recommended for approval by the local board.
