new road names - on the right track

SHARE

The JHHIP project team recently asked hospital staff to vote on a shortlist of names for two new roads.

These roads are found on the western and northern boundaries of the campus and are set to open on 10 October 2024.

And the winners are ...  

The project team is pleased to announce the following two names made it across the line with flying colours after we received an astounding 580 votes.  
 

• The new western road will now be known as – Cockatoo Crescent  
• The northern road – Banksia Drive  

Cockatoo Crescent secured pole position early on and remained there till the competition closed.  The new roads and their names are highlighted on the image below.

The winning names along with the other shortlisted names, Lily Lane and Gymea Road, complement existing campus road names that take inspiration from local flora and fauna.

The roads will also link to the future Newcastle Inner City Bypass – Rankin Park to Jesmond.
