Patrick Hogan Retirement Village
Land Information New Zealand (Linz) rejected Tiitoki Lane as the name for a new street in the Patrick Hogan Retirement Village in Cambridge because there is already a Titoki Drive in Tamahere.
After consultation with Ngāti Koroki Kahukura and Ngāti Haua iwi, village operator Ryman has suggested Mamaku Lane instead, which Linz has pre-approved.
Waipā District Council’s Service Delivery committee endorsed the name at its meeting in Te Awamutu this week.
In October, the committee approved Mahi Tahi Road, Pukatea Way, Puriri Lane, and Keikei Lane for four other roads in the village.
This week, the committee also approved Puaawai Drive for Rukuhia Land Holding’s private road off the SH3 and SH21 (Airport Road) roundabout.
The road services a quarry but is tagged for an industrial area if Southern Links proceeds in 15-20 years.
Ngāti Hauā and Ngāti Koroki Kahukura representatives recently visited the site and commented that the land was “blooming”. The concept of to bloom and growth correlates to puaawai.
Finally, in the Kainga Ora development in Te Awamutu, the committee agreed to Tawhiwhi Lane derived from Te Riu o Tawhiwhi, the name of a flour mill on the eastern side of Rangiaowhia.
Tawhiwhi is also known as New Zealand jasmine and is a native climbing vine which often twines around itself. It has long leaves and white, sweet-scented, tubular flowers.
Ten lots will be created on the road.
