NAMING OF 36 GROTTO STREET, ONEHUNGA
| Jennifer Jack |
|
| Assistant Open Space Planner |
19 February 2009 |
Reporting on the acquisition of the site at 36 Grotto Street, Onehunga, in
2007. Council is now required to name this site as part of the acquisition
process, and officers have been working with Board members Clark and Brochner to
select a name. The process began in September 2008 and in collaboration with
key stakeholders, including the Geological Society of New Zealand and the Grotto
Street Community Group (Friends of the Grotto) a shortlist of names was
established for public feedback. The shortlisted names were 'Grotto Street
Pond', 'Hochstetter Pond' and 'The Pond'.
Following review of the shortlist and public feedback, the name recommended for
the site is 'Hochstetter Pond'. The name references the fact that the geologist
Ferdinand von Hochstetter indentified this feature in Onehunga on his geological
map of Auckland in 1859, and the Board representatives have indicated support
for the proposed name. Following endorsement, the Board has the delegated
authority to recommend the name to the chairperson of the Arts, Culture and
Recreation Committee who may either approve the name as recommended or refer the
matter to the committee.
Recommending that the name 'Hochstetter Pond' be recommended to the chairperson
of the Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee for the site at 36 Grotto Street,
Onehunga.
