Naming of ROW Guildford Rd, Milne, Neville and Roberts Streets Bayswater

The City is seeking input from the community on the proposed naming of the right-of-way (ROW) bordered by Guildford Road, Milne Street, Neville Street and Roberts Street, Bayswater.

Background

In May 2023, the City received a request from a resident located along the ROW asking that the City investigate formally naming the currently unnamed ROW to assist with locating the ROW. The City presented three names from the City's Name Register, 'Oblong Lane', 'Bartlett Lane' and 'Grace/Grace Hardie Lane' to Council at its 30 April 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting, where Council endorsed all three names for public comment.

To find out more about these names, please see the menu to the right.

  • Proceed with the name 'Oblong Lane',
  • Proceed with the name 'Bartlett Lane',

Should Council resolve to name the ROW either 'Oblong Lane', 'Bartlett Lane' or 'Grace/Grace Hardie Lane', the City will forward the request to Landgate for final review and approval.

A report was presented to Council the 24 September 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM). Council endorsed both 'Oblong Turtle Lane' and 'Oblong Lane' as name options for the ROW, with the preferred name being 'Oblong Turtle Lane'. The City will now forward the name preferred name of ‘Oblong Turtle Lane’ for the ROW to Landgate for final approval. In the event Landgate are unsupportive of the preferred name, that ‘Oblong Lane’ be presented to Landgate as an alternative option for final approval. The City will also explore the option of adding the Noongar names for the Oblong Turtle to the City's naming register.
