Notice of the Final Determinations of the Minister for Land Information on Official Geographic Names
Pursuant to section 16 of the New Zealand Geographic Board (Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa) Act 2008 ("the Act"), notice was given in the New Zealand Gazette, 5 November 2009, No. 161, page 3891, of proposals by the New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa ("the Board"), to assign new or alter existing, geographic names.
