Consultation has concluded
The City is proposing to name the laneway that is located between Albert Street, Vine Street, View Street and Charles Street, North Perth.
The proposed name (Carex Lane) relates to the nearby wetland at Smith’s Lake which is just across Charles Street and was part of a larger wetland area that previously stretched across the whole area of Charles Veryard Reserve and the current Smith’s Lake. Carex is the genus name for the species of grass like plants in the Cyperaceae family commonly known as ‘sedges’. Carex is found all over the world, particularly in wetland areas such as Smith’s Lake.
Carex Lane satisfies Landgate’s criteria for a road name in that it:
is a single name element followed by a road type;
does not duplicate an existing road name within the local government area;
the name is not used in an existing street or place in WA; and
is no more than six letters long.
Carex Lane is considered pursuant to Criteria 4 of the City’s Road Naming Criteria – Flora and fauna local to the area in which the naming proposal is located.
Notes from our Local History Centre can be found in the Document Library.
Where is the lane?
The lane identified for naming is located between Albert Street, Vine Street, View Street and Charles Street, North Perth.
The lane consists of Lot 67 on Plan 1493.
About the process
This laneway proposal was submitted to the City of Vincent by a community member. If a consultation receives community support, the City will submit a road naming application to Landgate. Landgate will then approve or deny the application.
