The dog-leg portion of Heights Road in northern Nanango will be renamed Bradford Road in honour one of Nanango’s long-standing families if neighbours living along the road agree.<\/p>\n

The proposal to rename the road was discussed at the South Burnett Regional Council’s meeting yesterday.<\/p>\n

Council had received a request from the Bradford family to name an unformed road running off a corner of Heights Road after the family.<\/p>\n

Records showed that the Bradord family had owned property in the immediate area in 1910 and still do today – the family farm is located at the end of Heights Road near Barker Creek.<\/p>\n

Council records also showed that the name “Bradford Road” isn’t currently in use anywhere in the South Burnett Regional Council’s area.<\/p>\n

Cr Barry Green recommended the proposal to Council, saying that while he recognised the unformed road “would probably never be a road”, naming it would at least give the family’s descendants some formal recognition of the family’s contribution to the area.<\/p>\n

However, Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said he was opposed to naming unformed roads because the SBRC doesn’t put signs on them.<\/p>\n

In addition, the unformed road was approximately a kilometre away from where the family actually lived.<\/p>\n

He suggested it might be better to change the name of the dog-leg portion of Heights Road to Bradford Road, since this terminated at the family’s property.<\/p>\n

Cr Cheryl Dalton said she agreed that without a sign, naming the unformed road wouldn’t be much of a tribute.<\/p>\n

Cr Keith Campbell said that the SBRC periodically receives requests to name things after long-standing local families. The Council maintains a list of these requests so they’re not forgotten and if opportunities come up, it acts on them.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Manager John Kersnovski agreed Cr Campbell had correctly described the usual procedure.<\/p>\n

If the Mayor’s alternative suggestion of renaming a portion of Heights Road was followed, though, then a consultation process with property owners along the affected section would need to be carried out. This was because changing the road’s name meant their addresses would change.<\/p>\n

However, he added that dog-leg roads were uncommon in the Shire, so renaming that part of Heights Road would be a good outcome all round.<\/p>\n

The Council agreed to consult with neighbouring property-owners on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
