The laneway adjacent to Bellevue Avenue, Avalon Beach is currently unnamed and provides access to the driveway of the residential property at 47 Bellevue Avenue, Avalon Beach, access to Chakana Day Spa at the rear of 45A Avalon Parade, and is used by businesses from 47-55 Avalon Parade as a loading zone.

We received a request to name the laneway to help locals and visitors identify the area and improve wayfinding.

At the Council Meeting on Tuesday 19 December 2023, it was resolved to exhibit the proposal to name this laneway Spotted Gum Lane, referencing the spotted gum trees common in the area. View the Minutes here.

We have previously consulted on a proposal to name the lane Murradjulbi Lane. Further details are available under Project history.

The naming proposal has been pre-approved by the Geographical Names Board (GNB) of NSW. It is being carried out in line with the guidelines of both the GNB of NSW and Council’s Policy for the Naming of our Reserves, Facilities and Roads.

Notice of intention to name this laneway was provided in accordance with Section 162 of the Roads Act 1993 and Section 7 of the Roads Regulation 2018.
