Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 5 April 2011 Page 342.5 Proposed Renaming Of Mortimer Street, Minto2. As a prominent road within the One Minto Project, Landcom have suggested that it isdesirable that its name is drawn from the list of new names approved by Council toassociate it with the redevelopment of this area.3. Past events have led to the name of this road being associated with an image of Minto thatthe One Minto Project aims to change. It is therefore suggested that the renaming of thisstreet will contribute to the broader objectives of this project.In accordance with Clause 7 of the Roads Regulation 2008, the proposal to rename MortimerStreet was advertised in local newspapers to allow for public submissions. The agencies andauthorities prescribed in Clause 7 of this regulation were also notified of the proposal by letter, aswell as the residents of the eight existing properties in Mortimer Street who would be directlyaffected by the renaming of this road. Any submissions were required to be received by Councilbefore the 4 March 2011.The following submissions were received:1. Written objections from two of the residents directly affected by the renaming proposal onthe grounds of the potential disruption to the delivery of mail and other services to theirproperties, the expense and inconvenience of changing their contact details with numerousagencies and the fact that Mortimer Street is a long established street name within theMinto area.2. A letter from the Land and Property Management Authority stating that they had noobjection to the use of the name Hotham Road in the proposed renaming of this road,providing it did not refer specifically to any living person.3. The Macquarie Fields Local Area Command have confirmed that they do not have anyobjections to the renaming proposal.4. A petition containing 32 signatures objecting to the proposal on the grounds of the potentialdisruption to the delivery of mail and other services to properties, the expense andinconvenience of changing contact details with numerous agencies and the fact thatMortimer Street is a long established street name within the Minto area. The signatories ofthis petition include the residents of five of the eight existing properties directly affected bythis renaming proposal (including one who had previously written to Council objecting tothe proposal). Four of these residents are currently tenants and one is a property owner.The remaining signatures are primarily from occupants of the various Ways that currentlyrun off Mortimer Street or from other parts of the Campbelltown Local Government Areaand would not be directly affected by the proposal.With regards to the concerns raised by residents about the potential disruption to mail deliveriesand the changing of contact addresses, it should be noted that where a road is renamed Councilstaff always liaise closely with Australia Post and other service providers to help minimise anyinterruptions.
Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 5 April 2011 Page 352.5 Proposed Renaming Of Mortimer Street, MintoAt its meeting on 9 June 2009, Council approved the renaming of Archer Place to Gawler Avenuefor reasons also associated with the One Minto redevelopment. One of the residents directlyaffected by this renaming also made a submission objecting to the proposal on the grounds ofthe potential disruption to mail deliveries and the inconvenience of changing all of their contactdetails.
