TAURANGA CITY COUNCIL ARE PROPOSING A NEW PROCESS OF STREET NAMING We are updating our Naming of Streets, Reserves and Community Facilities Policy (now to be known as the Naming Policy) – last reviewed 10 years ago. The policy’s purpose is to provide a consistent approach to naming streets, reserves, community facilities and public places in Tauranga. Note that this does not include suburb names as these are decided by the New Zealand Geographic Board. We are proposing several key changes, outlined below. Among these, we’re proposing to include some provisions in the policy to encourage locally significant Māori names for streets and public places, giving greater visibility of mana whenua connections to Tauranga’s places. Read through our proposed changes and let us know what you think..... Submissions can be made if you wish. www.tauranga.govt.nz/community/have-your-say/open-consultations-and-engagements/consultation-details/artmid/1491/articleid/5013NEW NAME POSSIBLE FOR DYERS PASS, OTHER SITESDyers Pass could have Pukeatua added to its official title as part of 13 Banks Peninsula name changes proposed by the New Zealand Geographic Board. The changes were submitted by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, who want to restore the original Māori names reflecting the Māori history of the area. Other proposals include the dual names Ōmawete/Coopers Knob; Te Heru-o-Kahukura/Sugarloaf; and Tapuwaeharuru/Evans Pass..... www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/117773148/news-bites-60m-crane-new-name-for-dyers-pass-award-for-principal-booze-ban
