DUAL NAMING SITES

Over 200 Menang names were found in historical records for places across Albany and the lower Great Southern region. Following an extensive period of consultation with the Menang Noongar community, 66 were agreed.

 

Twenty-eight of the place names were either on City of Albany managed land, or had the support of the landowner to progress, and have been approved by Council and Landgate.

The remaining 38 names are located on private property or land managed by other parties and the City will continue to work with stakeholders and Landgate to progress dual naming of these places.
