What is proposed?
The proposal is to assign Pikipari Pass to the pass at NZTopo50-CB09 051451.
Other related proposals are to:
- correct the position of Mount Tarewai from NZTopo50-CB09 054458 to NZTopo50-CB09 052455
- correct the position of Mount Milne from NZTopo50-CA09 056461 to NZTopo50-CB09 054458
- alter Waitiri (peak) to Whaitiri, and correct the position from NZTopo50-CB09 053446 to NZTopo-CB09 050434
- alter Mount Mahere to Mount Makere and correct the position from NZTopo50-CB09 052455 to NZTopo50-CB09 053446.
The features are in the Darran Mountains, northeast of Milford Sound (locality), Fiordland.
Because the proposals to correct positions affect one another submissions will be taken on the proposals together.
A further name Pakihaukea Pass is already official (NZ Gazette 1949 (48) p.858) but incorrectly depicted on NZTopo50-CB09. The position will be corrected to NZTopo50-CB09 052437 without public consultation.
The Board considered this proposal report at its hui on 22 July 2021. The proposals are notified for one month so that the public can make submissions supporting or objecting to them.
