Hopes by developer and Tara Iti golf course owner Ric Kayne to name a new Te Arai subdivision after his three daughters have been dashed by Rodney Local Board.
Mr Kayne wanted to name the development Jemasa Lane – which comes from the first two letters of his daughters’ names, Jenni, Maggie and Saree. However, at last month’s Local Board meeting, members voted instead in favour of Manaaki Lane, which means ‘to support, take care of and give hospitality to’ and was suggested by iwi to represent Mr Kayne and iwi working harmoniously together.
Board members also voted to approve the name Katipo Lane for a nearby rural residential development at Te Arai North.
The katipo is a venomous native spider found in the area.
