Road naming Road names will adhere to the common principles defined below along with the rules defined in the Departmental Guidelines for the Naming and Numbering Roads. Road names should, where ever possible, be: easy to pronounce, spell and write; simple, concise and preferably of 20 or fewer characters; single destination, e.g. Palmwoods Road not Woombye-Palmwoods Road; Road types will be in accordance with the Australian Standards AS1742.5-1997; Council approval of new road is required before a plan for subdivision is lodged. In the absence of a request the Land Information Officer will select names from the Unused Name Register held by the Heritage Library. Renaming of roads will only occur in extraordinary cases. Duplication of names within a locality refers to the road name itself not the road type. For example Ocean Place Kuluin is considered a duplication of Ocean Street Maroochydore. Where duplication of road names already exists at the time of adoption of this policy, council will not change the name. Council may choose to rename the road subsequently: if requested to do so by a majority of ht eproperty owners fronting the road; if requested to do so by a Queensland Department Director, eg Emergency Servies. at its own discretion. Street numbering Street will be numbered according to the Australian Standard AS4819:2003. Numbering rules are defined in the Departmental Guidelines for the Naming and Numbering of Roads. Roles and responsibilities To ensure that existing names are protected and that the naming of new or previous unnamed entities is consistent with this policy, the following table defines the valid applications, requestors, assessors and approvers allowable.
