Chenonetta Lane

The City is proposing to name the laneway between Chelmsford and Grosvenor Roads, and Fitzgerald and William Streets, and will be submitting the name change to Landgate.

The proposed name (Chenonetta Lane) acknowledges the native fauna of Hyde Park.

The lane is within walking distance to Hyde Park and falls under the theme in naming lanes around Hyde Park relative to native Flora and Fauna. Previously submitted names were not endorsed by the community for not being native.

Chenonetta Jubata is the species name for an Australian Wood Duck (can be seen in Photos section). The Chenonetta Jubata is native to Australia and is seen in large numbers throughout Hyde Park.

Chenonetta 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; and
• the name is not used in an existing street or place in WA.

Chenonetta Lane does not satisfy the Landgate criteria in that it:

• is more than six letters long.

This does not disqualify the name from being considered by Landgate after community approval.

Chenonetta 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.

The City and Landgate support the name as it is considered close enough to draw inspiration from Hyde Park.

The applicant prepared research to support the proposal. This can be found in the Document Library.

Where is the lane?

The lane identified for naming runs parallel to Chelmsford and Grosvenor Road, between Fitzgerald and William Street, crossing Hyde, Norfolk, and Ethel Streets, in North Perth and Mount Lawley. The lane is currently split into 4 different parcels known as Lots 168,169 and 170 on Plan 2539 and Lot 302 on Plan 30661.

The lane is 150m away from Hyde Park.

About the process

This laneway proposal was submitted to the City of Vincent by a community member. If a consultation receives more votes of opposition than votes of support, the proposal will not be continued. If a consultation receives more votes of support than opposition, the City will submit a road naming application to Landgate. Landgate will then approve or deny the application. The City will send letters to nearby residents and owners in regards to the outcome of this consultation. An alternative name for this laneway must be submitted via the online application form before the consultation period for this proposal closes. If an alternative name is found to be suitable, a separate consultation for that proposal will be advertised.
