A list of potential names for new roads in West Dapto is being created and Council is providing the community the opportunity to provide
suggestions. The Geographical Names Board of NSW ‘NSW Road Naming Policy’
outlines the guidelines for naming roads. The guidelines can be accessed at (External link)www.gnb.nsw.gov.au(External link),
however, in a snapshot road names should:
Be unique - the name should not already exist in the
Wollongong Local Government Area or neighbouring Local Government Areas
Not be the name of a living person and first names are to be
avoided
Not offensive or likely to cause offense
Be appropriate to the physical, historical and cultural
character of West Dapto
Not be a company or business name
Be easy to read, spell and pronounce
Not use hyphens
Include an appropriate road type suffix e.g. road, street,
avenue
In most cases only be one word, however two may be
appropriate if required for the geographical relationship of the road. E.g. New
England Highway.
To be considered all
submissions must meet the mandatory requirements and show justification of
significance and relevance to the West Dapto Precinct. Names will be researched to ensure they meet
the requirements of the policy. Complying
names will be considered for a list which can be used by developers and/or
Council for road naming purposes
