PRISON SHIP NAME NEEDS TO GO FROM PORIRUA
Ngati Toa has asked Porirua City Council to change the name of Calliope Park in Cannons Creek.
This follows a recent shift in the name of nearby Calliope Crescent to Matahourua Crescent.
Calliope was a the name of the 26-gun frigate on which Ngāti Toa paramount chief Te Rauparaha was held after his arrest in 1846 by Governor George Grey.
Matahourua is the name of the waka on which Kupe discovered Aotearoa.
The proposal is open for public feedback until June 24.
