Context
Existing road names to be extended
4. On 16 February 2017, ‘Joshua Carder
Drive’ was approved by the Upper Harbour Local Board as part of the 5 and
5a Clark Road new road naming application. It is requested that the local board
approve Joshua Carder Drive (Road 1) as part of this report as it extends
through 133 Clark Road and its neighbouring properties.
5. Road
5 will be the extension to Squadron Drive that connects Joshua Carder Drive and
Clark Road. The applicant requests retention of the existing road name
‘Squadron Drive’ to avoid any confusion for users along the continuous
roadway.
6. On
18 May 2017, ‘Skua Road’ (Road 9), ‘Gecko Road’ (Road
10), ‘Hiki Street’ (Road 11), ‘Autumn Blaze Road’ (Road
12), ‘Clay Street’ (Accessway 10) and ‘Hātai Lane’
(Accessway 11) were approved by the Upper Harbour Local Board as part of the
road naming application for 141 Clark Road. It is requested that the local
board approve extensions to these roads as part of this report as they extend
through 137 Clark Road and its neighbouring properties.

residential dwellings and one COAL.
New road – COAL 3
10. In
March 2019, resource consents were issued for the construction of 23
residential dwellings and one COAL.
11. In accordance with the national addressing standards for road naming
(the AS/NZS 4819-2011 standard), the COALs require a road name because they serve
more than five lots. Site and location plans of the
development can be found in Attachments A and B.

Analysis and advice
12. 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 will be
given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for local
board approval.
13. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that
road names reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of
Māori names being actively encouraged:
· a historical or ancestral linkage to an area
· a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or
feature, or
· an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.
14. The
applicant has proposed names that reference the Scott
Point neighbourhood centre, which is to be built on the site. It is the
applicant’s view that the design of the homes, along with the preferred
new road names, will help establish a connection between the development and
the residents.
15. The applicant’s proposed names and
meanings are set out in the following table:

16. The names proposed by the applicant have been assessed to
ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the
national addressing standards for road naming. All technical standards have
been met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. It is
now the local board’s decision as to the thematic suitability of the names
within the local context.
17. Land
Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all proposed names are
acceptable and not duplicated elsewhere in the region.
18.
‘Court’ and ‘Way’ are acceptable road types for the new
roads, suiting the form and layout as per the Auckland Council Road Naming
Guidelines.
19. All
relevant local iwi were emailed and invited to comment. No iwi groups provided any responses or comments. It is therefore implied that no iwi were
opposed to the use of any of the proposed names in this location.

Māori impact statement
22. The review sought from the Upper
Harbour Local Board on this report
is linked to the Auckland
Plan outcome ‘A Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference
in the world’. The use of
Māori names for roads,
buildings and other
public places is an opportunity to publicly
demonstrate Māori identity. Two Māori road name options
have been proposed in this application.

Financial implications
23. The applicant
has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate
signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new
road names.
Ngā raru tūpono me
ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
24. There are no
significant risks to council as road naming is a routine part of the
subdivision development process, with consultation being a key part of the
process.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
25. Approved road names are notified to LINZ who records them on their
New Zealand-wide land information database, which includes street addresses
issued by councils.
