Community input sought on new bridge names

/in

Council is looking to formally name 10 new bridges that have been recently completed, nearing completion or contracted for replacement.

These bridges are currently known by anecdotal names.

The proposed names will be advertised and Council is asking the community for input so it can formally name each of the new bridges in line with Geographic Names Board guidelines.

All submissions must be lodged 4pm Monday, 29 January 2017. Please note that comments on Facebook are not regarded as a submission to Council.
