Council formally approve the name of Ray Gooley Drive for the new street in the
Southern Heights Estate subdivision.
Executive summary
Formal approval is requested to name the new street in the Southern Heights Estate subdivision
off Bruce and Melton Roads in Mudgee, Ray Gooley Drive.
Detailed report
Following the approval of the Southern Heights Estate subdivision, Council wrote to neighbours of
the subdivision requesting their naming suggestions. Public consultation was also invited in an
advertisement placed in the 25/7/14 issue of the Mudgee Guardian.
From submissions received, Council provisionally approved the name of Ray Gooley Drive at their
5/11/14 Council Meeting.
The Geographical Names Board had been advised of this street name and objected. Council
appealed to the 16/9/14 Board meeting and the objection to Ray Gooley Drive was overturned.
Ray Gooley Drive was advertised in the 7/11/14 issue of the Mudgee Guardian and on Council’s
website with no additional submissions received.
Notices of the new street name was served on Australia Post, the Registrar General, the Surveyor
General, the NSW Ambulance Service, NSW Fire Service, NSW Rural Fire Brigades, NSW Police
Force, NSW SES and NSW VRA with no objections received.
Street naming is legislated under the Roads Act 1993. This Act empowers the authority in charge
of the street with the rights to name it. The naming of this street will allow the completion of street
addressing within the new subdivision. Section 162 of the Roads Act (1993) states that “a road
authority may name and number all public roads for which it is the authority. A roads authority may
not alter the name of a public road unless it has given the Geographical Names Board (GNB) at
least two months notice of the proposed name.”
In accordance with Council's Road Naming Policy, should Council formally endorse the naming of
this new street, notice of the approved name will be:
1.
published in the Government Gazette and the Mudgee Guardian;
