About
Notice is hereby given that at its meeting held on 17 December 2019, Golden Plains Shire Council resolved to invite public submissions on a proposed name change from ‘Teesdale Tip Road’ to ‘Lightwood Road’.
The name is recommended in response to a request from a member of the community to formally rename the road to a name more fitting to the area and make it more appealing to visitors on approach to the town. The word ‘Lightwood’ is the common name for Acacia Implexa – a fast-growing Australian tree which can be found growing in close proximity to the road.
For further details view the Council Minutes.
Engagement Update
At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 28 April 2020, Council considered all submissions received and resolved to proceed with the renaming of Teesdale Tip Road to Lightwood Road. Golden Plains Shire Council will now send the Proposal to the Registrar of Geographic names for final approval.
