You will need to go through this registration process if you intend to permanently name a geographic place. New names and changes to existing names of geographic places and features are generally made by naming authorities such as local councils, with input from relevant residents.
The aim of registration is to reduce the duplication or repetition of names, and to ensure effective capture of all new place names data and the preservation of the State heritage of existing place names.
Please consult the responsible agency for more information and to ascertain the level of compliance (if any) that may be required.
