Quotes to be attributed to NSW Surveyor-General Narelle Underwood:
“Names are not just labels; they tell the stories of their community, and it is important that they
reflect the character and history of the local area.”
“Community consultation on the proposed names is an important step to make sure everyone has an
opportunity to provide their feedback and ensures that each voice has a chance to contribute.”
