New
private road name at 136A Schnapper Rock Road, Schnapper Rock
File No.: CP2024/03452
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
seek approval from the Upper Harbour Local Board to name one new private road,
being a commonly owned access lot, created by way of a subdivision development
at 136A Schnapper Rock Road, Schnapper Rock.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The
Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines set out the
requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. The guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a
result of a subdivision or development, the developer shall be given the
opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local
board’s approval.
3. The developer and applicant, Boezo Limited, has proposed the names
presented in this report for consideration by the local board.
4. The proposed road name options have been assessed against the
Guidelines and the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban
Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 and the Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments
2019 – LINZ OP G 01245. The technical matters required by those documents
are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated
elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana whenua have been consulted
in the manner required by the guidelines.
5. The proposed names for the new private road at 136A Schnapper Rock
Road, Schnapper Rock are:
· Cyathea Lane (applicant’s preference)
· Evergreen Oak Lane (alternative)
· Golden Oak Lane
(alternative)
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Upper Harbour Local Board:
a) whakaae / approve the name ‘Cyathea
Lane’ for the new private road created by way
of subdivision undertaken by Boezo Limited at 136A Schnapper Rock Road,
Schnapper Rock, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local
Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60377576, SUB60377578, road
naming reference RDN90114758.
Horopaki
Context
6. Resource
consent reference BUN60377576 (subdivision reference number SUB60377578) was
issued in March 2022 for the creation of 12 residential lots and one commonly
owned access lot.
7. The
scheme and location plans of the development can be found in Attachment A and B
to the agenda report.
8. In
accordance with the standards, every public road and any private way, commonly
owned access lot, or right of way, that serves more than five lots generally
requires a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street
numbering.
9. In
this development, the new commonly owned access lot (COAL) therefore requires a
road name because it serves more than five lots. This can be seen in Attachment
A, where the road that requires a name is highlighted in yellow.

Analysis and advice
10. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the guidelines) 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 across the Auckland region. The 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/s for the local
board’s approval.
11. The guidelines
provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes with
the use of Māori names
being actively encouraged:
· a historical, cultural, or
ancestral linkage to an area; or
· a particular landscape,
environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or
· an existing (or
introduced) thematic identity in the area.
12. Theme: Many existing roads in the area
surrounding this development are named after different species of oak trees,
such as ‘Pin Oak Drive’, ‘Bur Oak Terrace’, and
‘Wye Oak Drive’. For this reason, the applicant chose some names to
complement this existing local theme. The preferred name reflects a particular
environmental feature of the site.
|
Proposed name
|
Meaning (as
described by the applicant)
|
|
Cyathea Lane
(applicant’s
preference)
|
Cyathea is a
genus of tree ferns. Tree ferns were discovered during the pre-development of
the site.
|
|
Evergreen
Oak Lane
(alternative)
|
Evergreen Oak
trees can be found in the local area, and the name follows an existing theme
in the area.
|
|
Golden Oak
Lane
(alternative)
|
This name
follows an existing theme in the area.
|
13. Assessment: All the name options listed
in the table above have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision
Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the guidelines
and the standards with respect to road naming. The technical standards are
considered to have been met and duplicate names are not located in close
proximity. It is therefore for the local board to
decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in
accordance with the delegation.
14. Confirmation: Land Information New
Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for
use at this location.
15. Road Type: ‘Lane’ is an
acceptable road type for the new private road, suiting the form and layout of
the COAL.
16. Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted
in line with the processes and requirements described in the guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.

Climate impact statement
17. The naming of roads has no effect on climate change. Relevant
environmental issues have been considered under the provisions of the Resource
Management Act 1991 and the associated approved resource consent for the
development.

19. The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant
policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those
outlined in this report.

Māori impact statement
20. To aid local board decision making, the guidelines include an
objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land
through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent
approval process, and the allocation of road names where
appropriate. The guidelines identify the
process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all
road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.
21. On
November 1st, 2023, the applicant sought input into the naming of
the new road from the following mana whenua groups:
· Ngāi Tai Ki
Tāmaki (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust)
· Ngāti Manuhiri
· Ngāti Maru
(Ngāti Maru Rūnanga Trust)
· Ngāti Pāoa
(Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust)
· Ngāti Pāoa
(Ngāti Paoa Trust Board)
· Ngāti
Tamaterā (Ngāti Tamaterā Settlement Trust
· Ngāti Whanaunga
(Ngāti Whanaunga Incorporated)
· Ngāti Whatua
Orakei
· Ngāti Whatua o
Kaipara
· Te Ākitai
Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)
· Te Kawerau a Maki
22. No
response to this request has been received to date.
23. Subsequently on March 12th, 2024,
mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of the applicant, through the
Resource Consent department’s central facilitation process, as set out in
the guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in
the general area were contacted:
· Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua
· Ngāti Whatua o Kaipara
· Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei
· Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal
Trust)
· Te Kawerau ā Maki
· Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)
· Ngāti Te Ata (Te Ara Rangatu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata
Waiohua)
· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust)
· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Trust Board)
· Ngāti Maru (Ngāti Maru Rūnanga Trust)
· Ngāti Tamaterā (Ngāti Tamaterā Settlement Trust
· Ngāti Whanaunga (Ngāti Whanaunga Incorporated)
· Ngāti Manuhiri
24. On
March 22nd, 2024, a response was received from Ngāti Manuhiri,
who stated that they do not support the use of colonial names that don’t
align with the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.
25. By
the close of the consultation period no other responses had been received.
26. While
the road naming guidelines encourage the use of Māori road names, the applicant wishes to continue to seek a decision
from the local board given that the English names proposed are still in
accordance with the guidelines and they demonstrate a link to the locality.
27. This
site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua and no Te Reo Māori
names are proposed.
Ngā ritenga
ā-pūtea
Financial implications
28. The
road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.
29. 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
30. There are no significant risks to council as road naming is a
routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a
key component of the process.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
31. Approved road names are notified to LINZ which records them on its
New Zealand wide land information database. LINZ provides all updated
information to other users, including emergency services.
