CIVIC CENTRE TO BE KNOWN AS TE WHARE WHAKATERE
Ashburton’s new library and civic centre has been gifted a new Māori name, Te Whare Whakatere.
It will replace the two previously gifted names Te Pātaka o kā Tuhituhi (the storehouse of publications) for the library and Te Waharoa a Hine Paaka (the gateway of Hine Paaka) for the civic centre.
The whole civic complex on Baring Square East will be known as Te Whare Whakatere.
The Council Chamber will be called Hine Paaka, and the library space will be known as Te Kete Tuhinga, meaning a basket of script.
“We’re delighted with the new names gifted from Arowhenua. I think we have achieved a great milestone here; the names link well to the history and heritage that mana whenua and pākeha share in our district.”.....
