At Council’s meeting held on 17 September 2024, it was decided to correct a long-standing error by changing the spelling of Cheeseman Road, Normanville to Cheesman Road in line with the wishes of the Cheesman family and the support of the Yankalilla Historical Society.
The error originated from incorrect Lands Titles Office records. The misspelling affects all State Government data, satellite maps, and street signs.
In accordance with Council’s Road Naming Policy, it is commencing the road naming process and inviting community feedback on the proposed road name change.
All submissions will be considered at a future Council meeting where they may also make a determination on the proposed road name change. At this meeting Council will also declare the date the change is to take effect if the road name is changed.
Submissions close Wednesday 25 June 2025.
