Urban Lane

Consultation has concluded

The City is proposing to name the laneway located between Barlee, Clarence and Curtis Streets, and Kaata Lane, Mount Lawley, and will be submitting the name change to Landgate.

The proposed name (Urban Lane) is in tribute to the increasing 'urbanisation' of the local area, and of the modern properties found throughout the City of Vincent laneways.

The laneway between Clarence Street and Barlee Street is flourishing with developments, particularly 'urbanised' residences.

'Urban' is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as:

[usually before noun] connected with a town or city

Urban Lane satisfies Landgate’s criteria for a road name in that it:

  • is no more than six letters long;
  • is a single name element followed by a road type;
  • does not duplicate an existing road name within the local government area; and
  • is not in use in an existing street or place in WA.

Urban Lane is considered pursuant to Criteria 5 of the City’s Road Naming Criteria – Culturally significant historic event, architectural style, artwork, waterway or other culturally iconic element connected with the area.

Justification and further definitions of the name Urban can be found in the Document Library.

Where is the lane?

The lane identified for naming runs parallel to Clarence Street and Barlee Street, between Kaata Lane and Curtis Street, Mount Lawley.

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.
