Korimako Lane, Karoro Lane and Hoiho Lane in the suburb of Sydenham, Christchurch

Korimako Lane, Karoro Lane and Hoiho Lane and these lanes are too new to be on the library website. They are probably private lanes as well but the signs didn’t say this. There are 90 houses here built by Otautahi Community Housing Trust and Brougham Village used to be here. The housing complex was only opened at the beginning of this year. The residents have access to ebikes and electric cars. Korimako is our bellbird. Hoiho is the yellow eyed penguin and Karoro is the black backed gull. The complex is built in a block bounded by Brougham St, Burlington St, Hastings St and Waltham Rd. The units actually look OK but I didn’t actually walk these lanes for safety reasons. There was a murder here in April plus recent assaults so I erred on the side of caution.
