It might be the traditional Māori name for the location but it's too long and impractical, say residents of a new Whakatāne subdivision.

I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

It’s a valid point that names for subdivisions can be very unoriginal, the worst is the nautical themed ones, there’s just so many.
