to change name of Sonning carpark
Hamilton hapū have lodged a formal proposal to change the name of a carpark in the centre of the city.
The Sonning carpark is just across the Waikato river from Hamilton CBD and is built on the site of Opoia Pā.
The hapū would like to see the site revert to its original name.
The Hamilton City Council have been keen to develop high-rise housing on the site, but last year Ngāti Wairere filed a Waitangi Tribunal claim in opposition to any proposed development.
