Plain-English summary

Land Information New Zealand is consulting on proposals to assign Ladle Bend Creek and Munitions Bend Creek as official geographic names. The proposals concern how these stream features should be recorded and referred to officially.

Feedback can cover whether the proposed names are accurate, locally recognised and appropriate. It can also identify any issues for maps, public records, local use or cultural recognition.

Why it matters

Official stream names are used in maps, public records, environmental information and emergency response.

Naming decisions can affect how local features are recognised and described.

Who may care

  • Local residents, land users and mana whenua
  • People using maps, waterways or local environmental information
  • Emergency services and local authorities

How to make a submission

  1. Read the LINZ consultation material.
  2. Send support, objections or comments through LINZ before the closing date.
