Have your say on a boundary amendment in Lake Macquarie LGA

The NSW Department of Customer Service < 1 mins read

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Lake Macquarie City Council to amend the locality boundaries between Wyee and Wyee Point.

The proposal aims to have all properties facing Government Road within the suburb of Wyee Point and properties with access off Ruttleys Road to be within the suburb of Wyee.

Chair of the Geographical Names Board Narelle Underwood said the GNB is encouraging community comment before it considers the proposal.

Residents of Wyee and Wyee Point are encouraged to view the proposal on the GNB website, where they can also make a submission on the proposed changes.

Written submissions on the proposed changes can also be mailed to: Secretary, Geographical Names Board, 346 Panorama Ave, Bathurst, NSW 2795.

The closing date for submissions is 12 January 2024.


Quotes to be attributed to Geographical Names Board Chair Narelle Underwood:

“It is important locality boundaries are easy to identify and make sense to the community.”

“We want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to provide their feedback on the proposed boundary amendments.”

Dartbrook coal mine extension short sighted, reckless

The Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) says the Minns Government’s announcement of sweeping foster care reforms, designed to rebuild accountability and transparency across a system supporting more than 13,500 vulnerable children, is a long overdue reset after years of outsourcing failures under the Permanency Support Program. The union, which represents child protection caseworkers in the Department of Communities and Justice, said the changes recognise what frontline staff have been warning for years: when responsibility is fragmented, children fall through the cracks. For nearly a decade, caseworkers have operated inside a system where legal responsibility remained with government while service…
