Proposed suburb change in Cessnock LGA

Cessnock City CouncilWhat’s this about?
The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Cessnock City Council to amend the suburb boundary between Branxton and North Rothbury.
The current suburb boundaries have been in place for several years. However, the area has since been subdivided as part of the new development precinct of Huntlee and the boundaries are no longer appropriate.
The proposed boundary amendment will rectify this issue by extending the northern boundary of North Rothbury to include parts of the Hunter Expressway and the rail corridor.
The boundary amendment will facilitate the allocation of addresses to the new development, support future growth and reduce potential confusion in the provision of services.
GNB is seeking feedback to gauge community sentiment for the proposed suburb boundary amendment. Residents of Branxton and North Rothbury are encouraged to view the proposal on the GNB website. Here they can support or object the proposal and also make a submission on the proposed changes.
All submissions will be considered before the boundary amendment is officially assigned.
