Proposed suburb change in Inner West LGA

What’s this about?

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Inner West City Council to adjust the suburb boundaries between Lewisham and Summer Hill.

The existing suburb boundary is defined by the Hawthorne Canal. However, the construction and recent opening of the Inner West Rail Extension has diminished the visibility of the canal resulting in a less distinct boundary between Summer Hill and Lewisham.

The proposed amendment to the boundary aims to address this concern and establish a more clearly designed boundary between Lewisham and Summer Hill.
