Myrtle Road and Coprosma Road and Hebe Road and Dahlia Drive and Petunia Drive are all new streets that run off Zinnia Way. They are too new to be on the library website but they are on google maps.
Information from Council website. Road names have been requested by Awatea Park Limited for road(s) at Awatea Park in Hornby which is within a greenfield area bounded by Carrs Road, Awatea Road, Owaka Road and the Christchurch Southern Motorway. The suggested road names have a botanical theme.
9th May 2017 – the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board resolve to approve the following road names:
Myrtle Road – Myrtus, with the common name myrtle, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtacede.
Coprosma Road – Coprosma is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family.
Dahlia Drive – Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Dahlia Mexico.
Petunia Drive – Petunia is a genus of 35 species of flowering plants of South American origin.
Hebe Road – Hebe is a genus of plants native to New Zealand, Rapa in French Polynesia, the Falkland Islands, and South America.
Newly built house mostly brick and some had riverstone columns. Still many empty sections waiting for buyers. As usual with modern small streets there was a footpath on only one side of the street. Houses mostly had just lawns but a couple had flowers.
On Myrtle Road there were three lanes that haven’t been named yet and either half built houses or empty sections here.
Hebe Road has the potential to be confusing as there is a Hebe Lane over in Groynes area.
Another area that doesn’t know if it is in Hornby or Wigram.
