NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 59

5 JUNE 2014

These discontinued official and recorded geographic names relate to either geographic feature types that the Board does not have naming jurisdiction for, therefore they should not be official names, or for features that no longer exist.

The discontinued official and recorded names may continue to be used, but would no longer be subject to the requirements of the Act, and the future responsibility for their naming, if any, will no longer lie with the Board.

The first column of the Schedule below specifies the discontinued official and recorded geographic names.

The geographic feature types they relate to are set out in the second column of the Schedule.

The former New Zealand Gazette notices they relate to or descriptive details are set out in the third column of the Schedule.

Details of the discontinued official and recorded geographic names can be requested in writing from the Secretary of the New Zealand Geographic Board, c/o Land Information New Zealand, PO Box 5501, Wellington 6145. Email: customersupport@linz.govt.nz

The Board’s final determination on these discontinued official and recorded geographic names took effect on 5 June 2014.
