We believe in a natural and thoughtful approach to naming - keeping it minimal to ensure South Canterbury integrates seamlessly with its surroundings and grows organically. But every place needs names for streets, shops, schools, and spaces. That’s where you come in!
We’re diving into toponymy (the science of naming), looking at:
- Local history and heritage
- Nature and wildlife
- Stories of unsung heroes
- Community recommendations
Before construction begins, we’ll launch consultations, competitions, and local events where you can share your stories and ideas. Of course, all names must pass the "envelope test" (ensuring they’re approved by emergency services and postal authorities), but we want to take this journey with you.
