There are five road names that each have four separate roads with the same name (Clyde Street, Brown Street, Queen Street, Cemetery Road, Main Road). In fact, of the 2260 named roads within the Dunedin City territory there are 339 roads that have duplicate names elsewhere in the city. This is because of the many duplicate road names that exist in New Zealand. Locality names are needed to uniquely identify properties by address. The Council makes the final road naming decisions following the Council Road Naming Policy, with supporting Guidelines. New roads are often created along with a new subdivision and the developer will propose names for new roads to the Council. We name new roads, and can also alter the name of an existing road or assign a road name to previously unnamed roads (Local Government Act 1974 Sec 319(j)). This may occur with a road realignment, where two properties have the same number, or other circumstances where there is real risk that emergency services could have difficulty locating the property. We are reluctant to force change onto property owners and will only do so if absolutely necessary. If a property owner requests a change to the property number, and it complies with the standards, then we will usually approve the change. the entrance to 125 is located approx 1.25km along the road on the left). For example, for rural numbering, the RAPID system is used where the numbering is based on the distance from the start of the road (e.g. We use industry standards as a basis for determining the numbering. We assign or approve these numbers (Local Government Act 1974 Sec 319B (1) and Roading Bylaw 11.10).
