Talwood place name proposal

Update: This consultation has now closed. Decision is pending. 

Proposal: To discontinue the use of the approved names of North Talwood and South Talwood localities, and to create and give a name to a single locality of Talwood, as shown on Proposal Plan QPN1416.

The Department of Resources is seeking feedback on a proposal to amalgamate North Talwood and South Talwood localities into a single locality named Talwood.

North Talwood and South Talwood are two localities within the Goondiwindi Regional Council. The township of Talwood lies at the border of these localities within North Talwood, approximately 90km west of Goondiwindi.

The proposal has been suggested by Goondiwindi Regional Council following requests from the local community.

The community believe that amalgamation into one locality named ‘Talwood’ will:

• better align with community identity,
• resolve issues with addressing, and
• improve the provision of postal and emergency services in the area.

Prior to making a suggestion, Goondiwindi Regional Council undertook a community engagement process on the proposed amalgamation. More information on council’s engagement activities are available on their web page.
