Wollondilly Council is seeking road name suggestions from residents, community groups and schools for the many new roads which are appearing around the Shire.

Council’s street name register allows land owners and developers to select a street or road name allocated to a specific township that has been approved by the Geographical Names Board.

Council is asking for suggestions based on the themes of local Aboriginal heritage, early explorers, pioneers, settlers and historical figures and natural environment, marine, flora or fauna.

Suggested road names require background information such as where the name comes from, how it connects with the community, if the name is commemorative, who or what the road is named after, the relevance of the name and any historical reference or dates.
