Council sought community feedback on its intention to assign the name ‘Euro Road’ to an unnamed road at Beachport.

What was decided?

In accordance with Council’s Naming of Roads Policy, the public were invited to comment on the proposed assigning of a new name, 'Euro Road' to an unnamed road leading from the corner of Ringwood Drive and Admella Drive, Beachport. The proposed road is highlighted in red on the image below.

A temporary sign was been installed at the intersection to guide traffic accessing the road. The provisional sign will be updated now that the new road name is assigned.

Background

Following requests from the community for a name for the unmade road, Council sought input from members of the Beachport Museum committee regarding potential names.

Under the Local Government Act 1999, a council may assign or change a name to a public or private road, or to a public place.

The name ‘Euro’ is being proposed for the unnamed road in reference to the Euro shipwreck, which ran aground approximately 3.2 kilometres north‑west of Cape Banks Lighthouse in 1881 while enroute to Beachport.

The name aligns with other nearby roads that reference local shipwrecks, including Admella Drive and Geltwood Drive.

Further information about the Euro and Southern Ocean Shipwrecks can be found on the Department of Environment and Waters website.
