New Name For Suva Point

AT a recent meeting in Suva, of the committee for recommending names for streets and certain rural areas in sub-divisions of Crown Land in the Suva Peninsula, it was decided that the new sports ground, at present known as Laucala Bav Park, be re-named Buckhurst Park after Mr. W. H. Buckhurst, Director of Lands, Mines and Surveys.

In making the change of name, the committee has recorded that in view of the active part taken by Mr. Buckhurst in organising and promoting athletics in Fiji, and his work in preparing the area, it would be appropriate for the new sports ground to bear his name.

It was also decided to re-name Suva Point. This area will now be called Laucala Bay.
