Purpose of the report 24 Item 1. To seek approval from the Franklin Local Board to name one new public road and three new private roads, being a commonly owned access lot (COAL), created by way of a subdivision development at 52 North Road, Clevedon. Whakarāpopototanga matua Executive summary 2. Auckland Council’s road naming 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. 3. On behalf of the developer and applicant, Clevedon North Limited, agent Crang Consulting Limited have proposed the names presented in the tables below for consideration by the Local Board. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki have also suggested names to be considered for the three COALs. 4. Any of the proposed road name options would be acceptable for the local board to approve for use in this location, having been assessed to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming. All technical standards are met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. Mana Whenua have also been consulted. 5. The names proposed by the applicant for the new public and private roads at 52 North Road are: Table 1: 52 North Road applicant preferred and alternative road names

Item 24 Item Ngā tūtohunga Recommendation/s That the Franklin Local Board: a) approve names for one new public road and three commonly owned access lots (COAL) at 52 North Road, Clevedon, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60303009 and SUB60303384): i. Public Road 1: Beckby Way (applicant preferred name) supported by Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki ii. COAL 1: Araucaria Place (applicant preferred name) or Kaihuia Lane (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki preferred name) iii. COAL 2: Norfolk Pine Place (applicant preferred name) or Te Rau Way (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki preferred name) iv. COAL 3: Taitaia Stream Way (applicant preferred name) or Nukuao Lane (Ngai Tai ki Tamaki nominated name)
Horopaki Context 7. Resource consent BUN60303009 (subdivision reference number SUB60303384) was issued in December 2019 for the construction of sixty-two residential lots, an esplanade reserve, two reserve lots, one public road, and four commonly owned access lots (COAL). The development is being marketed as ‘Clevedon North’. 8. Only three COALs are included in this report for approval. As the fourth COAL does not serve more than five lots, it does not require a road name. 9. The agent has advised that the subdivision is due for completion in September and that houses are now on the market for sale. The applicant requires the approved road names as soon as possible, in order to apply for their 223 and 224c applications and allocate addresses to the new titles. A delay of the road naming decision will cause a delay in the development and cause significant financial implications for the developer. 10. Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B respectively.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu Analysis and advice 11. The Auckland Council Road Naming 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. Item 24 Item 12. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names try to reflect local themes, with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged. Themes can include: • a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area; • a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or • an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area. 13. The applicant has proposed names to commemorate the Thorp family, who were early settlers in Clevedon and first owned the land in 1854. The Thorp name is already reflected in Thorp Bridge, Thorp Quarry Road and Thorp Hill in the Clevedon Reserve. The applicant has also proposed names that reflect the historical landmarks that exist or once existed on the site. 14. The Applicant’s proposed names and meanings are set out in the table below: Table 3: 52 North Road Proposed Names and Meanings
Road Ref. Proposed name Meaning (as described by applicant)

PUBLIC (Alternative 1) Beckby homestead was also where Bishop Selwyn preached and discussed potential sites ROAD Thorp Homestead Way for a church when he first arrived at Clevedon in (Alternative 2) 1858. The homestead no longer exists on the site so the applicant has proposed the public road be named in remembrance of this homestead.

location and placemarks of the streets.
Hampton Thorp Lane To commemorate William Hampton Thorp. (Alternative 1) An obituary printed by the New Zealand Herald dated 20 May 1913 described Thorp as a
‘pioneer settler’ and recounted the following: Item 24 Item “One of the few early pioneers remaining, Mr. William Hampton, of Beckby, Clevedon, passed quietly away last week. The deceased had been failing greatly of late, and a sharp attack of pneumonia hastened the end. Mr. Thorp, who was unmarried, was born at Cook's run, near Sydney, and came over to New Zealand with his parents soon after, spending his earliest years at Cloudy Bay, Wellington, the Thames, and Coromandel before finally settling in Clevedon. COAL 3 Mr. Thorp was on active service as lieutenant in the Maori war 50 years ago in this district, and gained an insight into native affairs during the campaign that proved of great value on many future occasions. The site of the present Anglican Church, All Souls, was given by Mr. Thorp, sen., and both the late Mr. Thorp and his sister, Miss Thorp, have proved themselves unfailing friends in generous.giving to every call for church needs or other public causes. For nearly 30 years Mr. Thorp was a lay reader, only relinquishing the work on account of increasing infirmity. In his active days he took a leading part in local affairs, proving himself a most energetic and efficient member.”
Scotch Lass Lane Scotch Lass was the name of the vessel that the Thorps family used when they arrived in the (Alternative 2) area. The name reflects the location and placemarks of the streets.
15. Zaelene Maxwell-Butler from Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki has provided the following description for the theme of their names: ”the Clevedon North sub-division sits below our tūpuna maunga Te Nikau Pā. Ngāi Tai were born of these lands, and our last known rangatira to have lived atop Te Nikau Pā was Tara Te Irirangi of which the writer is a 7th generation granddaughter. The names have been interwoven to give partial context to a time and stories handed down through time. These names demonstrate the ahikāroa (longstanding continuous occupation) of Ngāi Tai in the Clevedon area pre 1800s.”

COAL 3 Nukuao Lane A sheltered spot at the base of the maunga.
17. All the name options listed in the tables 3 and 4have been assessed by the Council Subdivision team to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming. Two further names for COAL 3 have not been included as these were duplicated elsewhere in the region. It is up to the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and to select the preferred name for each road. 18. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all the proposed names are acceptable for use and not duplicated elsewhere in the region. 19. ‘Way’, ‘Place’, and ‘Lane’ are acceptable road types for the new public and private roads, suiting the form and layout of the road, as per the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines. ‘Te Ara’ is used as a prefix for Te Reo Māori or Moriori road names 20. The applicant sought community feedback on their proposed names as follows: • The road names were distributed during the Clevedon North Community Liaison Meeting on the 23 July.

22. Enquiries about living decendents of the Thorp family were made by the applicant during the Clevedon North Community Liaison Meeting and with the Clevedon District Historical Society. Philip Bell (Clevedon District Historical Society President) advised that there were no living relatives of the Thorp family in the area, so the applicant was unable to gain consent for the use of the Thorp name. 23. Mana whenua were consulted in line with agreed processes and requirements with feedback received from Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, objecting to the applicants proposed names. Feedback is outlined in further detail in the ‘Māori Impact Statement’ section of this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori Māori impact statement 27. To aid local board decision making, the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate, as well as a process to enable mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications in a manner and scale that they consider appropriate. Depending on the scale of the development and its level of significance, not all road naming applications receive comments from mana whenua. 28. Mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of the Applicant, through the Resource Consent department’s central facilitation process. Representatives of the following mana whenua groups with an interest in the local area were contacted on 23 July 2020: Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki; Ngāti Maru; Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust; Ngāti Paoa Trust Board; Ngāti Tamaterā; Ngāti Te Ata; Ngāti Whanaunga; Te Ahiwaru - Waiohua; Te Ākitai Waiohua; and Waikato - Tainui 29. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki commented that they did not support the proposed names and requested a meeting with the applicant so that Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki could discuss names which reflected their history and identity. The applicant met with Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki on the 31 July. Following this meeting the applicant advised Council staff that in addition to the developer’s 12 names, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki would be submitting their own names to be considered by the local board. 30. On the 17th August, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki suggested nine names for the three private roads. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki advised that while this would have been an great opportunity for Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki to name the public road, in the hopes of improved future engagement and relationship with Clevedon North/Kaipara, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki agreed to support the applicant’s preferred name (‘Beckby Way’) for the public road.

31. Of the nine names suggested by Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, two names were duplicates to names already being used in the Auckland region and therefore not acceptable for use. These two names have been removed from this report. The remaining seven acceptable names have been included in Table 2 and Table 4 for the local boards consideration. 32. No other iwi provided responses or comments or suggested any other road name options.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea Item 24 Item Financial implications 33. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the Council. 34.
