St Leonards South Street Naming

Council is currently seeking ideas for the naming of the new road in St Leonards South. The new road will connect Berry and Park Roads and will provide alternative access to both River Road and the Pacific Highway.

Some key criteria for the selection of road names include:

• Road names are not to be duplicated, or be too similar to, existing names within a 10km radius.
• The Geographical Names Board Road Name Evaluation website can be used to check for eligibility.
• Road names should have relevance to the local heritage, culture, environment or industry.
• Road names with a local Aboriginal dimension can be submitted but must be reviewed in consultation with Aboriginal stakeholders.
• For road names commemorating a person:
  • The person should have contributed significantly to the area.
  • The person must have been deceased for at least 12 months.
  • An effort should be made to gain consent from family members of the person.

The ideas will be presented back to Council where a final name will be chosen and forwarded to the NSW Geographical Names Board for approval. Any names must follow the guidelines set down in their Addressing Policy.

The consultation will run from Thursday 6 November and finish on Thursday 18 December 2025.
