Keswick Island Locality Place Name Proposal

Update: This consultation has now closed.

Proposal: To create and name a new locality of Keswick Island, as shown on Proposal Plan QPN1421.

The Department of Resources is seeking feedback on a proposal to create and name a new locality of Keswick Island.

Keswick Island is located approximately 33 km north-east of the city of Mackay, within the Cumberland Islands group. Keswick Island is the approved name of the geographical feature under the Place Names Act 1994 (the Act), however the island is currently not located within an official locality.

Localities – often known as suburbs – are administrative boundaries that are essential for the creation of valid addresses that can be uniquely and clearly identified.

The proposal was suggested by Mackay Regional Council, after the issue was raised by residents of Keswsick Island.
