Residents of Herbertville's Seaview Rd attended a evening public meeting on Monday to discuss Tararua District Council's intention to reallocate and create new street addresses of the properties on the road.
Changes would take place from the beginning of the road for about a kilometre.
Just under 20 affected people attended the meeting and were able to review maps and a list of the changes.
It was explained at the meeting that the council is now required to reallocate the street addresses as the current system of addressing no longer meets the New Zealand addressing standard.
In 1996, numbers that relied on a distance measure were assigned to the existing properties of Seaview Rd – these were called Rural Address Property Identification (RAPID) numbers.
