Naming of Road for the 14 Lot Subdivision of 32 Plumb Street, Blayney

Council is seeking your views on the naming of the road for the 14 lot subdivision off 32 Plumb Street, Blayney.

Council, at the February meeting endorsed a shortlist of potential names, approved by the Geographical Names Board, of previous Mayors/Presidents of Lyndhurst Shire, Blayney and Carcoar Municipalities and Blayney Shire Council.

Potential Street names include:

• Streatfeild Close
• Innes Close
• Thompson Close
• Colburt Close

Whilst this follows precedent of acknowledging a local government leader, Council has a desire to identify and remember past leaders from the traditional Wiradjuri owners of Blayney country. Council would also like to hear from the community on adopting an Indigenous name.
