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 APPLICANT REF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE 1 ALTERNATIVE 2 NAME PUBLI Beckby Homestead Thorp Homestead C Beckby Way Way Way ROAD COAL Araucaria Place Bunya Place Bunya Pine Place 1 COAL Norfolk Pine Norfolk Island Pine Island Pine Lane 2 Place Place COAL Taitaia Stream Hampton Thorp Scotch Lass Lane 3 Way Lane 6.

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. Approval for 4 new road names at 52 North Road, Clevedon. Page 6 Franklin Local Board 25 August 2020 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 24Item 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 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.
