Love it Here - Come and have a look Whangarei....
Welcome to Putahi....
The chosen name was Pūtahi, which means “a place where everyone can gather and enjoy themselves”. It was one of the top five selected from 93 that came in from the public when Council called for names that reflected the park’s significance.
The name of the new park shows the significance of its site in the past, in the present and in the future.
Discussions with representatives of the hapu of the area, Te Parawhau and Ngati Kahu o Torongare, have covered its history and use in its earliest times, then history was gathered relating to European settlement and more recent times. These discussions included its complicated history of mana whenua and ownership through various reclamations, river diversions and land acquisition by different parties
All these factors were taken into consideration when the final name for the park was chosen.
Representatives from the Tangata Whenua of the area, and members of the project team considered all the proposals and created a shortlist of five suitable names, along with explanations of their relevance. The final name was selected by Whangarei Mayor Sheryl Mai and all Councillors.
