What we looked at:

Weston Park in Yarralumla is one of Canberra’s favourite suburban parks. Projecting into Lake Burley Griffin, its beautiful undulating parklands hold the Yarralumla Wholesale Nursery, Heritage Nursery, Yarralumla Gallery and Oaks Brasserie and Yarralumla Play Station.

The park has five un-named minor roads. If there were to be an accident, medical emergency or fire, it could be difficult to describe the location to emergency personnel.

We asked you to select your preferred theme and road names. The themes were:

• Wayfinding: Elm Avenue, Tarcoola Grove, Abelia Lane, Pontoon Place and Yarramundi Close.

• Trees: Elm Avenue, Cabbage Gum Close, White Cedar Lane, Ribbon Gum Place and Liquidambar Glade.

• Birds: Boobook Way, Chough Court, Lapwing Lane, Frogmouth Road and Pardalote Place.

How we used your views:

In response to your preference for the Wayfinding theme, we will start preparing for the installation of the wayfinding road signs at the appropriate location of each road and for the road names to be displayed in ACTmapi. Please see the map below.

Installation of the road signage will be undertaken by the land custodian, Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS).

The National Capital Authority (NCA) has endorsed the five road names under the Wayfinding theme but as the park is a Designated Area the new signage will require NCA Works Approval.

This page will be updated when the signs are installed. If you would like to receive notification, please email placenames@act.gov.au
