Why does the City want to name the ROW?

    The ROW has a number of property's whose primary access is via the ROW, and the proposed naming will help ensure that they can direct people more easily to access their property.

    Does this mean the ROW will now become a public road?

    No, naming the ROW does not make it a dedicated road. The ROW will continue to remain in the City's ownership and landowners will not be able to change their address to the ROW.

    Where did the names 'Hoppy Lane', 'Stokeld Lane', and 'Brushbox Lane' come from?

    All three names were chosen from the City of Bayswater Name Register, which contain a list of people, businesses, flora and fauna and Noongar names. Further information on each name can be found under the 'What is behind the names' section.

    Will the naming of the ROW affect my current street name?

    No, if you are located along Foyle Road, Catt Court, Drake Street or Cantlebury Street, Bayswater, your address will not be affected by the naming of this ROW.

    I don't live near the ROW, can I still vote on a name?

    Yes, all residents regardless of where they live in the City of Bayswater are encouraged to complete the survey. 


    How can I get more involved with naming within the City of Bayswater?

    If residents have a person, place, business or flora and fauna with a direct and significant connection to an area, they are encouraged to submit the name to the City. If the name aligns with relevant naming policies and guidelines, the name will be added to the City of Bayswater Name register and can be considered an option for future naming matters.
