Name Our New Roads
The Shire’s new housing development will have two new roads, and we need to find a name for them. We are calling for community suggestions for both the Housing Development and the Roads. New road names and road types must comply with Landgate's Policies and Standards which you can read in detail here.
What sort of names can we accept?
- They must be easy to pronounce, spell and write.
- They can have geographical significance or can be names of early explorers, discoverers, settlers, naturalists, surveyors can be considered.
- A person’s name but only posthumously and with family permission. It must also be based on demonstrated record of achievement.
- Aboriginal names and words can be used however will be subject to agreement with the relevant Aboriginal people.
Names cannot be:
- Similar, or the same as, existing road names in the Shire
- Discriminatory or derogatory names
- Include words like ‘The’, for example, The Avenue, The Esplanade or The Strand.
- Include the use of name extensions, qualifying terminology, cardinal indicators, prefixes or suffixes (for example, Upper, New, North, South, Park, Grove, Heights, Waters etc.).
- Include symbols
To nominate a name, complete the form found HERE or drop into the Shire and fill out the form. A map of the new subdivision can be found below.
