Expressions of Interest
Council is seeking expressions of interest for the renaming of Old Western Road in the Lithgow City area.
Existing Road Name:
Extent description: The southern portion of "Old Western Road" (approximately 3.229 kilometres in length) which is divided from the northern portion by Railway Street and Sydney Road in the locality of Rydal NSW 2790.
Reasons:
- The northern portion of the road is divided from the southern, for a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometres.
- The properties currently located off the southern extent of the road are distant from the properties located and numbered on the northern extent. This could cause issues for emergency services.
- The current road naming does not comply with the requirements of the NSW Addressing Policy No. 2, 2015 and Clause 6.7.7 of the NSW Addressing User Manual (AUM).
Should any person wish to have input into the naming of these roads, then written submissions will be accepted by Council up until Friday 20 October 2017. Please send your submissions to PO Box 19, Lithgow 2790.
Further information may be obtained by contacting Fern-Alice Finn in Council’s Environment & Development Department, on (02) 6354 9999 between 11:00am and 2:00pm (Mondays to Fridays).
Council is seeking expressions of interest for the renaming of Wards Road in the Lithgow City area.
Existing Road Name: Wards Road
Extent description: An existing privately owned and maintained Right of Carriageway (ROW) (approximately 1.653 kilometres in length) located off Wards Road Megalong Valley NSW 2785, which provides vehicular access to approximately nine (9) properties.
Reasons:
- The existing address numbering for properties accessing off the ROW is non-sequential and these properties require renumbering.
- As the ROW is an extension off Wards Road, the allocation of distance based numbering to properties accessing from the ROW, could result in the numbering of properties accessing directly off Wards Road being too large. This could create issues for emergency services.
- The current road naming does not comply with the requirements of the NSW Addressing Policy No. 2, 2015 and Clauses 6.2.3 and 6.7.3 of the NSW AUM.
Should any person wish to have input into the naming of these roads, then written submissions will be accepted by Council up until Friday 20 October 2017. Please send your submissions to PO Box 19, Lithgow 2790.
Further information may be obtained by contacting Fern-Alice Finn in Council’s Environment & Development Department, on (02) 6354 9999 between 11:00am and 2:00pm (Mondays to Fridays).
Further information may be obtained by contacting Fern-Alice Finn in Council’s Environment & Development Department, on (02) 6354 9999 between 11:00am and 2:00pm (Mondays to Fridays).
