Help us name the final road at Riverlands

Canterbury-Bankstown Council is inviting the community to help name the final road in the Riverlands Golf Course residential development. Following earlier community consultation and Council approval of six new road names, one road — currently referred to as “Road 10” — remains unnamed.

We’re now seeking your input on four meaningful name options that reflect the area’s rich history, local ecology and community heritage. These names have been carefully selected in line with Council’s Naming Policy, Memorials Policy and the NSW Address Policy and User Manual.

We encourage you to read more about each name and cast your vote. Your feedback will help shape the identity of this new neighbourhood.

If you are a family member or descendant of any of the individuals proposed for commemoration, we invite you to provide your feedback via the Have Your Say form linked below.

The four proposed names are:

Named after one of Australia’s smallest native birds, part of the local ecosystem.

Honouring May Elizabeth Crispin, a key figure in the Milperra Soldiers' Settlement and local community development.

Recognising Esther Abrahams, a First Fleet convict granted land in the Bankstown District.

Commemorating Sarah Ann Schwarzel, a pioneering midwife in the East Hills district from the 1890s.
