REPORT:

Section 2.1.3 Place Names of the Draft Planning Scheme states that

Established place names are key elements of local context and wayfinding. Existing place names should be retained and their use promoted through the proposed development, particularly through the use of public art, and the marking of barony boundaries where appropriate. The Chief Executive agrees with the motion and recommends that the text be amended to include the following text

The naming and numbering of each development must not duplicate or be easily confused with an existing name in the County. This is in the interests of owners, occupiers, visitors, service and utility providers and for rapid emergency service provision.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted and the text be amended as follows

Insert into Section 2.11.3

The naming and numbering of each development must not duplicate or be easily confused with an existing name in the County. This is in the interests of owners, occupiers, visitors, service and utility providers and for rapid emergency service provision.
