NP244 Unnamed Lane off Errard Street South- Promise Lane

What's Proposed

The City of Ballarat proposed to name the currently unnamed lane off Errard Street South to 'Promise Lane'.

Why is this Necessary?

This unnamed lane is currently used as a delivery point for nearby Sturt Street businesses and for vehicle access to parking spaces. Naming the lane will improve navigation, identification, and emergency service response.

Effect on Property Addresses

The proposed name will affect the street addressing of two apartments that use this lane for property access. These residents will be contacted directly following the outcome of this consultation.
