Changes to road names and street numbering
Changes to road names and street numbering
On occasions it may be necessary to adjust or change existing road names and street numbers e.g. to cater for development or redevelopment of land. This includes private roads.
It is your responsibility to confirm the property address with council before submitting a building application. Especially where a property has two road frontages.
For example, a change may occur where the driveway access is established on a different street to the current property address.
Secondary dwellings, single detached dwellings and annexed units
A separate street or unit number, or use of alpha suffixes will not be issued. This is contrary to the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 definitions.
