Istana Place in the suburb of Burwood, Christchurch

Istana Place in Burwood – Named in 1997. That was a tiny amount of information from the library website. Found a council / community board entry from 1997 which said 20 sections approved for the cul de sac and applicants submitted name of Istana Place which was accepted. The entry was very brief and no reason given for this name. There is also a street in Nelson with the same name and it is possibly from an Indonesian or Malay word meaning palace or Royal palace. There are obviously no longer any houses here as it is in the red zone. I couldn’t get a decent look on old google maps as the google vehicle didn’t go down this street. It does look like is was a pleasant street.
