Geographical Names Board of NSW

The Geographical Names Board of New South Wales (NSW) is a government organization responsible for managing and approving names for places, features, and landmarks in the state. This includes cities, streets, rivers, and parks. The Board ensures that names are appropriate, have historical significance, and reflect the area's cultural heritage. It also helps improve the clarity and consistency of geographical naming, which is important for navigation, addressing, and tourism. The Board engages with the community to gather suggestions and maintain records of official names, promoting a unified and accurate geographical identity for NSW.
