Road Naming Policy of the Horowhenua District Council

This policy is to assist decision makers in the Horowhenua District Council to meet their responsibility in the naming of roads within the District. This relates to new roads, unnamed existing roads (e.g. paper roads) and to private roads and accessways. It does not relate to road numbering, that function being the responsibility of officers of the Council already.

As well as preventing potential confusion or mistakes for users a consistent approach to road names can provide a transparent and balanced process for the naming of key infrastructural assets, and provide a way of recognising and enhancing our District’s history, culture and identity.

This policy is currently under review and an updated policy is expected to be released before the end of 2025.
