Te reo name gifted to Alex Moore Park sports hub
Wellington City Council has approved Waiora as the official name for the Sport and Community Building at Alex Moore Park.
The name Waiora, meaning water of life, was selected following engagement with iwi partner Ngāti Toa, and the Alex Moore Park Sport and Community Inc.
Council agreed to build a new sport and community hub in 2018, with completion due in March 2021.
Māori partnerships portfolio lead, Cr Jill Day, says the gifted name is in accordance with council’s naming policy Te Māpihi Maurea, but also meaningful for the building, and the area as a whole.
“Waiora meaning ‘Water of Life’ comes from wai – water, ora – life, well, full, alive, and references the main local stream which was used for the provision of kai/spiritual sustenance."
Alex Moore Park will continue to be the name of the sports park where the building is located.
