Overview
Local councils have the authority to name public and private roads, streets and places. This includes assigning new names or changing a current name.
All names must be assigned in accordance with the
Guidelines for the selection of names for roads SA (PDF 63KB).
When considering renaming a road, street or place you should consider the effect of the change on the community.
Immediate notification of a name change or assignment must be given to the:
- Surveyor-General
- Registrar-General
- Valuer-General.
The public must be given notice of the change or assignment of a name. If renaming a road or street that runs into the area of an adjoining council at least two months notice must be given to the relevant council before the name change takes place.
