Tarata Rise in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Tarata Rise – Named after the Tarata tree, the native Pittosporum Eugenoides, known as the lemonwood tree. At the time of the naming of the right-of-way, the subdivision developers indicated that they would probably plant Tarata trees along the street. They wanted “a name that is clear and straightforward in spelling, sound and pronunciation, and in keeping with the existing road name that the new right-of-way will run off”. The applicants asked for a dispensation to describe the street as a “Rise” as “this is more in keeping with the topography”. Rights-of-way are normally Lanes. In the Halcyon Development. Named in 2015

That is a lot of information from the library website. There are 6 sections on this street and not all of them have houses yet. Still mostly looks like a building site.The street is at the end of Kiteroa Place and just looks like an extension of Kiteroa Place.
