Takaka Street:
Has had various changes—Tutuki, and now is Tukuka which is a long way from Takaka. It ran to Britannia Heights on early maps but the council has given the scattered portions which appear on the hill above the Intermdeiate School, different names, such as Matipo Terrace. Takaka is supposed to be a name from the Society Islands and meant bracken.
