Ngahere Street – Ngahere means: bush or forest. Named to continue to commemorate the Deans’ efforts to conserve the native forest trees in Riccarton. The naming was also designed to showcase the Maori names of trees. First appears in street directories in 1950.
A reasonable of information from the library website. This street is a small cul de sac that leads into Riccarton Bush. One house is an obvious rebuilt and it comes under what I call toilet block style and it probably is worth a fortune. A couple of older houses that looked lovely.A pleasant wee street and to have Riccarton Bush so close would be lovely. Note this is a confused wee street and different websites have it in different suburbs. Personally I agree with the library website and think that it should be in Riccarton especially being so close to Riccarton Bush.
