What was proposed?

The proposal was to change the name Takanini to Takaanini, for the suburb in Auckland between Manurewa and Papakura.

See the related proposal for Takaanini Railway Station

Outcome

No change to the current official name.

The Minister for Land information rejected the proposal on 3 December 2024. The official name remains Takanini (official by New Zealand Gazette 16 November 1950, No. 70, page 1989). Takanini also remains officially classified as a locality and not a suburb.
