Southern Downs Regional Council resolved to put forward to community consultation the suggested name of “Foxtail Lane” for an unnamed road reserve off Halls Road, Forest Springs at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.
SDRC received an application to name an unnamed road reserve off Halls Road, Forest Springs that is in the process of being constructed as part of a development application.
The proposed names from this application were Foxtail Lane, Escape Road, Grey Gum Drive, and Blue Gum Drive.
SDRC report detailed that Foxtail Lane met the requirements for naming a road. It was not stated if the other names did not meet these requirements.
The proposed name will be available for public comment for a minimum period of 21 calendar days and shall include advertising in the relevant media, written advice to adjacent landholders, written advice to any other stakeholders for input, and input from internal departments.
At the end of the community consultation period, a second report will be prepared for Council, advising of any correspondence received. At this meeting, a suitable name should be adopted, based on both the applicable criteria and the outcomes of the public consultation.
The motion was moved by Councillor Ross Bartley and seconded by Councillor Marco Gliori.
