Why is the change needed?

Improved safety and access

This change is necessary due to potential confusion as this section of Graves Street is separated from the main section of the road by an unmade segment where there are currently no future plans for development. It is also important that emergency services can readily identify and access a property. The current situation opens up the possibility that emergency vehicles may be delayed by entering the wrong section of Graves Street.

Subdivision applications

Recent applications for planning permits for subdivisions along Grave Street have prompted the need to review the addressing of all properties in the street.

As part of this review, it was highlighted that an unmade section of Graves Street between Green Street and Allen Street has the potential to cause confusion for anyone trying to locate properties on Graves Street that are north of Allen Street.
