Hei Hei is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. It is located in the west of Christchurch 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the central city,[1] and is bisected by State Highway 1. The area was subdivided for poultry farming after WWI for returning serviceman, but the venture failed due to the poor soil conditions.[2] The place name is a Māori word and literally means noise, disturbance, storm, dust; in modern usage, it can also mean fowl.[1]
