EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  

1      The purpose of this report is to present the options for the naming of a new road off Riccarton Road East as part of a residential development by AKGO Limited.  The developer's preference of road name complies with the Dunedin City Council Road Naming Policy, however, the use of the suffix "Wynd" is not a listed suffix within the policy. 

2      The support of the Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board is sought for this name prior to its consideration by the Infrastructure Services Committee.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Board:

a)     Does not support the naming of a new road off Riccarton Road East as “Wakefield Wynd”.

 

BACKGROUND

3      A 17 lot residential subdivision has been approved for 50 and 54 Riccarton Road East. This subdivision will be serviced by a new road that will vest in Council.  The development is now at the stage the developer wishes to name the new road.

DISCUSSION

4      The Developer has proposed “Wakefield Wynd” as their preferred name for this new road.  No alternative name has been suggested.

5      ”Wakefield” was chosen as a reference to Edward Gibbon Wakefield                          (1796-1862).  Wakefield believed many of the social problems of Britain where due to overcrowding and overpopulation and he saw emigration as a way of solving this problem.  He was involved schemes to settle both Canada and Australia before becoming a director of the New Zealand Company in 1838.  By the end of 1839 he had dispatched nine ships to New Zealand.  The company established settlements at Wellington, Nelson, Wanganui and Dunedin.  In 1843 the company issued a prospectus for the sale of 48,000 hectares in a new settlement called New Edinburgh at an undetermined location.  In January 1844 a 160,000 hectare block was selected around Otago Harbour.  The company worked with the Free Church of Scotland and the first settlers sailed in November 1847.  Wakefield was heavily involved in the early settlement of much of New Zealand.  In January 1853 Wakefield arrived in New Zealand.  Initially landing in Christchurch, he soon relocated to Wellington.  Here he was elected to Parliament for Hutt, holding the seat until he resigned in 1855.  He died in Wellington in 1862 and is buried in the Bolton Street Cemetery.

 

 

6      The name "Wakefield" fits the appropriateness criteria of the Road Name Guidelines by use of a personal name for special service.

7      The name "Wakefield" is not the same or similar to any other road name in Dunedin.

8      A “Wynd” is defined as a narrow lane between houses. It is frequently encountered in towns in Scotland and Northern England.  It derives from Old Norse Venda (to turn) implying a turning off a main street.  The old town of Edinburgh had many wynds, until 19th century improvements led to them being widened and renamed “streets”.  Currently “Wynd” appears to have been used only once in New Zealand.  The word Wynd does not seem suitable for describing a legal road of normal width.  In addition it may be that the general public do not understand what “Wynd” means or how to pronounce it.  These factors would indicate it is not the most appropriate choice, and the Board may select not to support the proposal.

9      No alternative name or suffix has been suggested.  The developer is aware of the potential issues the use of this suffix may cause.

OPTIONS

 

10    The road name "Wakefield" complies with the road naming policy.  The name Wakefield is recommended for use but that the suffix Wynd is not.  As the developer has not provided an alternative name the Infrastructure Services Committee has the delegation to amend or decline the road name proposed.  Where the Committee wishes to amend the proposed name, the resolution of the matter shall be left on the table to enable the amendment to be checked for compliance with the road naming policy and to obtain the agreement of the proposer of the name.

11    Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has advised council officers it does not support the use of the road suffix "Wynd".  Wynd is not listed as an acceptable road type within the AS/NZS 4819:2011 Rural and urban addressing standards.  If Council were to assign addresses off Wakefield Wynd, LINZ would advise that these addresses would not be acceptable under the Local Government Act 1974, Section 319b.  With delegation from the Surveyor General, LINZ would request that the road to be renamed and addressed correctly.

12    The Regional Manager and Group Controller of Emergency Management Otago advised Council officers it does not support the use of the suffix “Wynd” (as in Wakefield Wynd) as the suffix is potentially confusing and they have a strong preference for clarity as any confusion during a response, be it emergency services or a wider local emergency situation, can put people at unnecessary risk.

13    A Senior Sergeant of NZ Police confirmed any confusion around road naming, such as the use of Wynd as a suffix, can lead to a delay in emergency response.

 

 

 

NEXT STEPS

14    That the Community Board considers the naming of a new road off Riccarton Road East as “Wakefield Wynd” at the insistence of the Developer’s legal representative.  The name Wakefield is recommended for use but that the suffix Wynd is not due to strong objections from the Emergency Services and LINZ.

Draft Long Term Plan Template

3      A new template (Attachment A) has been drawn up to help Community Boards with long-term planning.  The purpose of the template is to encourage Community Boards to identify long term projects and flag these to the Dunedin City Council in time for them to be considered when the budgets are decided.

Section 4 is the key change.  The template is not intended to detract from the spirit of each community board and each Board can add anything that is important to the Board.

Ideally community boards will need to identify their projects/focus by the end of June this year for inclusion in the 2018-27 Long Term Plan.  This means completing Sections 4 and 5 over the next two months.

Anne Gray, Policy Analyst, Corporate Policy Team, is leading this work and has offered to respond to any questions.

 

Transport

4      The Transport Department have received a request asking for consideration to be given to installing a P5 parking within the vicinity of the public toilets situated at the intersection of Gordon/Factory Roads.  The resident was concerned that there was insufficient short term parking in this area for people wanting to use this facility.  Currently the parking nearest to the toilet is P60 on Factory Road and P30 on Gordon Road.

 

Staff would like the Community Board's feedback before they progress this request any further.  Any change to parking restrictions would need consultation with the affected businesses.

 

Action List

5      An update on outstanding matters is provided in Attachment B.
