Docket Lane

Docket Lane

The proposed name is Docket Lane in commemoration of the business, Docket Book Company (Australia), which was owned by the Judd family. The name appears to satisfy Landgate's naming standards.

Located at 498-502 Charles Street, North Perth, the Docket Book Company (Australia) was a printer and distributor of docket books for record keeping and receipt of sales. Operating under a number of names, including 'Commercial Press' and 'WA Docket Book Co.' Arnold Judd traded in the same location for over forty years (1932 - 1980s).

The City supports the name of Docket Land because it meets our criteria 3: Prominent Historic Vincent Business.

Docket Lane satisfies the Landgate criteria:

• 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
• No more than six letters long.

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