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. Joint
land use and subdivision resource consents R/JSL/2014/5302 and R/JSL/2016/683
have been granted by Council under the HASHA Legislation and RMA for Stage 1 of
the Brookview Development. The road connection for Stage 1 is from Bayvista
Drive until such time as Stage 2 is consented and developed. Road 1 will
eventually connect to Kuhanui Drive with a roundabout.
8. Nine
road names were approved by the Papakura Local Board on 22nd
February 2017 (Resolution number PPK/2017/24). Approval was not
requested by the developer for Road 1 which will be the extension of the
existing Kuhanui Road.
9. The
existing street numbering on Kuhanui Road is from south to north and it is not
possible to continue the numbering to an extension of this road to the south
without changing all of the existing street numbers. This proposal is to
provide a new road name for Road 1 which is the new road extending to the south
of Kuhanui Road. There is a roundabout at the intersection of these two roads
which will provide a clear distinction between the two roads.

Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Tamaoho, Te Ākitai, Makaurau Marae, Te
Rangatu, Ngati Paoa, Ngati Maru, Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāti Tamaterā and Tainui) relevant to

received.

has been undertaken with New Zealand Post who indicated that the road names
meet their addressing standards.

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.
