The revised Naming of Council Assets Policy better aligns with the NSW Geographical Names Board Place Naming Policy and guidelines, to ensure that if a naming proposal proceeds, that the relevant information has been received, community engagement has occurred and Council has resolved to support the proposed naming.
The revised Policy and associated procedures provides the following clear direction and reference:
Council may seek community feedback on the proposal using local newspapers, website, notices to residents in the area, notices to local progress associations and at local Council facilities; and
A naming proposal should be supported by a Council resolution.
Facilities within a Council asset (park, sportsground, community hall, cultural facility) may also be named in accordance with the revised Policy, but do not require the formal approval of the NSW Geographical Names Board. Naming of smaller assets (i.e. picnic shelters, amenities buildings, rooms, and park furniture) will continue to be approved by Council’s Executive Leadership Team following consultation with key stakeholders.
