Atlantis Street in the suburb of New Brighton/ Red Zone, Christchurch

Atlantis St in New Brighton / Red Zone. There was no mention of this street on the library website yet the houses would have been built in the 1990s and the street is mentioned in the council minutes of Sept 2000 where they talked about extending the street to include Barkers Rd. When I walked this street today I didn’t think that there were any houses left as it is another area hit with liquefaction but the QV website had 4 or 5 houses on it. Checked google maps and there are houses down at the end of long driveway. There is a very new looking church on the Travis Rd end of this street and it is a New Life church.My best guess for the naming of this street is that it is after a car called Atlantis because of other streets in the area being named after cars.
