The Wainuiomata Local Board has reversed its decision to name a street after the suburb’s first and only mayor.
Board chair Gabriel Tupou says he and another member were unable to attend the February 15 meeting because they were in self-isolation.
Because of the community upset over the decision, there was unanimous agreement to hold a special meeting last Monday.

Harry Martin Lane was named just five days ago but already its future is in doubt, with Lower Hutt mana whenua calling the decision to reject a Māori street name “disrespectful and hurtful”. Last Wednesday, Wainuiomata Community Board narrowly voted 3-2 to name its newest street after the Lower Hutt’s suburb’s one and only mayor, Harry Martin, who passed away in 2017. However, the decision has immediately come under fire, with mana whenua calling for cultural training for board members that rejected the Māori street name put forward.

Iwi historian Hoani Eriwata talks about the history of Te Kohia Pā, the place where the Taranaki land wars started.
Thousands pass the pā site every day, unaware of its significance in Aotearoa’s history as the place where the Taranaki land wars began and land confiscations started. The repercussions of that loss are still being felt today. Tara Shaskey reports. On March 17, 1860, British troops fired into Te Kohia Pā, near Waitara, marking the beginning of the Taranaki land wars, and the end of life as Taranaki Māori would ever know it to be again. Every day, thousands pass the pā site, unobtrusively nestled behind fencing to the side of State Highway 3 in Brixton, and yet the weight of the whenua (land) remains largely ignored, Hoani Eriwata, of Te Ātiawa, says.
