Halcyon Way – Named after the halcyon, a mythical breed of kingfisher. The developers also felt the name conveyed messages of “calm, peaceful, tranquil, happy, joyful, carefree and prosperous”. As it is a right-of- way, it was the city council’s policy to name it a Lane. However the developers felt Halcyon Way flowed better. Named in 2013.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to this about the name of the street.There is only about 3 or 4 houses on this street in the Cashmere Hills. There are sections for sale here and most are on the steep side of the street. I wouldn’t like to build on these sections. I ended up talking to a developer who lives on Kiteroa Place and he said that the sections are safe but expensive to build on. There was one house that I would loved to have got a photo off as it looked unusual but between a high wall and tree I couldn’t get a photo. No footpaths to walk on.
