Public Notice: Waikato District Council, 24.06.2013
New Road Names
Notice is hereby given that the Waikato District Council, for the purpose of giving developers a selection of road names for any future development, asks that the Raglan community put forward new road names to the Raglan Community Board for consideration.
In line with Council policy the following guidelines should be considered when choosing road names:
(a) Names must not be a duplicate of any existing district roads and preferably not duplicate any name occurring within surrounding districts.
(b) Names should be brief (restricted to one word only) and be easily and readily pronounced. Identical sounding names with different spelling are to be avoided.
(c) The length of the name should be desirably not exceed 12-15 characters. The use of hyphens to connect parts of names should be avoided and the name written as one word or as separate words where established by usage.
(d) Historical factors should be considered (with reference to the area or people involved – including Maori, early settlers, political, social or economic), as should natural features, outstanding events or persons.
The proposed road names can be dropped off at the Raglan Office or in writing to the Raglan Community Board by the 31 July 2013
This notice is given pursuant to the Tenth Schedule of the Local Government Act 1974
