The city’s geographical naming and renaming policy sets out principles for naming and renaming public places, roads, and community infrastructure. This includes avoiding names that are offensive, discriminatory, or derogatory.

The policy also ensures a consistent, fair, and equitable process, with public participation integral to decision-making.
