We have also discussed this matter with Ms Helen McDonald, of Local Studies, Sutherland Library and her research has not shown the origin of the name.

The majority of our members were of the opinion that the name should remain as it is - as local residents are very familiar with the location and are not worried about it being north/south".

This lane was opened in 1973 and replaced a previous unnamed Crown lane opened in 1886, which had been parallel to and around 9 metres away to the north- west of the current lane. That older lane had been closed in 1964 when it was resumed as part of the school. Heath Place Heathcote Name appears to simply refer to the road 14/4/1982 being in Heathcote. Heathcote Engadine & Road constructed 1939-41 through CL Road Heathcote & Commonwealth and Crown land. The 1939-41 Lucas boundaries of the section between Heights & Deadmans Creek and Lucas Heights were Holsworthy defined in 1962 and a further section as far & Menai as the bridge over Woronora River defined by the boundaries of adjoining properties. From the bridge to the beginning of the subdivided areas of Engadine and Heathcote, within Heathcote National Park, though constructed, has never been defined.

Street Name Suburb Name Source/ meaning Reference Circa 1909 Although all gazettals and plans refer to Kinsella Street, it should have originally been spelt Kinsela after Henry Kinsela, who was an owner of land in that area in late 1800s, and amongst those landowners who were successful in having the area declared part of Hurstville Municipality.

He also owned a property at Dolans Bay, Bygone Days of where he built the house ‘The Terraces’ Sutherland Shire around 1889.

The name first appears on a subdivision plan dated 11/11/1889, but was adjacent to that subdivision and quite likely to have been named earlier. In 1831, a settler from England settled near Moruya and called his property Kiora, which derived from the name of a local Aboriginal group named Kiora (also Kiyora). This is possibly the origin of the name, as the area predominantly has street names with proven or assumed Aboriginal origins. Kiora is a also a Celtic/Gaelic word meaning little and dark, but that appears unlikely to be the origin 1947 to 2005 parts of road known as Kiora Road North / South.

The road had several descriptive names, being shown on old maps as “Sir Thomas CL Mitchell’s Line of Road to the Illawarra” and other names such as the “Wollongong Road”. The first authenticated description of a name for the road appears in the NSW Government Gazette in 1845 in relation to a Crown land subdivision at Bottle Forest (now the eastern part of Heathcote), which A Pictorial History of describes it as “the new line of road to Sutherland Shire Illawarra” and then for the remainder of the gazettal as the “new Illawarra road.” CL The whole road continued to be referred to as the “Illawarra Road” until Surveyor Parkinson in 1864 surveyed a new road from Horse Rock Point, Georges River to Engadine, joining the Illawarra Road at what is now the intersection of Old Princes Highway and Woronora Road. This new (1864) road and its continuation along the remainder of the (1843-45) “Illawarra Road” took over the mantle of the main road to Wollongong, especially as Mitchell’s 1843 road was difficult to use, particularly the crossing of Woronora River at the Pass of Sabugal. Accordingly the “Old” Illawarra Road (Mitchell’s road) from the Lugarno ferry crossing to where it met the “New” Illawarra Road (Parkinson’s Road) began to be referred to as the “Old Illawarra Road”. That was confirmed on the Department of Lands plans for the release of the Village of Heathcote and its Suburban Lands in 1886. Much of the Old Illawarra Road still utilises the originally surveyed road, but there have been some minor alterations in its route, and renaming of some sections.

As named just after World War 2 (name advertised in 1948), most likely named after someone who gave service during that war. It may be purely coincidental but Engadine 1825-2001 the road was alongside the property of Ronald Back, a seaman on the HMAS Napier, who died on his way home from the war in March 1945. Shire Clerk Kirkby mentions two persons Kirkby Index named Porter: (1) Mr Alec Porter, who was a volunteer on the clothes for refugees programme in 1945 (2) F C Porter, of Yowie Bay, a member the Regional Advisory Panel on War Damage in 1942. As there does not appear to be any other local person named Porter mentioned in relation to service in World War 2 (other roads in area are named after local servicemen), the road may have been named after one of those gentlemen. There is also a mention that Mrs Porter’s Engadine 1825-2001 cake shop in the shopping centre was the National Emergency Services shelter during the war however that would not appear to be a likely source of the name.

Street Name Suburb Name Source/ meaning Reference Port Hacking” through the properties of Thomas Holt and Frederick Ellis Holt and including parts of Crown reserved roads and boundary roads. It replaced a former informal road from Horse Rock Point to Little Turriel Point, cleared and formed by a local parish road trust (under urging from local citizens P S E Holt and William Simpson) at Port Hacking. It also replaced, between Gwawley Creek CL and Box Road, an original Crown boundary road which was sold to Thomas Holt for resubdivision in exchange for dedicating the new route. That old road started at Gwawley Creek in the same location as the new but then ran generally south to meet Box Road between the present-day roads of Wordsworth Place and Tennyson Place. The 1888 road still forms the route of the present day Port Hacking road, although it has been considerably widened to allow for it to become a major main road from Sylvania to Caringbah. The only deviations were right at the Port Hacking end of the road. Originally the straight section which now goes past Bass Street would have continued in a rough arc to the present end of the road. That was only a proposal and did not proceed. The road instead continued on past the intersection with Turriell Bay Road and arched just to the north of present-day Shiprock road and Wallendbeen Avenue to the current end. That part of the road was closed in 1891 and the current road from the end of Turriel Bay Road to the end opened to replace it. In 1916, it was split into two parts when the section between Kareena Road and President Avenue was renamed as part of Kingsway. An attempt was made to differentiate between the two split sections by renaming the section between Kingsway and Port Hacking as Port Hacking Road South in 1949, but it resulted in confused house addressing, with some houses adopting the new name, but many sticking

The Estate name possibly relates to it being an Aboriginal camp site, and the street name may have some relation being derived from the Latin ‘silva’ (from ‘silvanus’) meaning forest or woods, and can refer to a shady, wooded area. Silvanus was the Roman god of forests. At the time of subdivision it was a sparsely wooded area which would have been cleared for farming as part of the Holt-Sutherland Estate. Sylvan Ridge Illawong Although the area has a general theme of Menai Dept Unit 23/3/1981 Drive Australian historical nautical significance, it Council file records is much more likely that the name was derived from its location along a ridge overlooking the Georges River State Recreation Area (now Georges River National Park).

Street Name Suburb Name Source/ meaning Reference subdivisions for the Holt-Sutherland Estate.. The line of the original road can be found by extending Sylvania Road South through to Georges River. The new road became Venetia Street between Georges River and Holt Road, and Sylvania Road between Holt Road and Forest Road. It was also named Sylvania Road in the section of the original Crown Road from Forest Road to Port Hacking. It remained unnamed in the first Holt- Sutherland Estate subdivision in 1882, but was included in the subsequent subdivision of farmlets in 1886. Over the years there have been several renaming of sections of Sylvania Road: (1) Around 1929 the part of Sylvania Road south of Gymea Bay Road (now Casuarina Road) was shown as being part of Gymea Bay Road. This was later reversed in 1934 when it was renamed as Sylvania Road. (2) Between 1947 and 2005 the section north of the Sutherland Cronulla railway was renamed Sylvania Road North and the section south of the railway as Sylvania Road South (3) In 1998, parts of Sylvania Road South were renamed as Casuarina Road, Greygum Place and part of Matong Place. Due to some confusion as to the extent of Casuarina Road, it was later clarified by gazettal as extending through to Port Hacking. (4) In 2005 after consideration for reversion to Sylvania Road, the part of Sylvania Road South between Forest Road and Matong Place was retained as Sylvania Road South. The section from Forest Road to the railway was however reverted to Sylvania Road. (5) Also in 2005, Sylvania Road North was reverted to Sylvania Road. The name given in the 1886 Holt- Sutherland subdivision by James Murphy, manager and a shareholder of the Estate reflected Sylvania is a variant of the Latin word ‘silvanus’ and means ‘of the forest’ Silvanus was the Roman god of forests.

Sylvia Street Cronulla Was renamed as Coronation Avenue in CL (DISC) 1940. 12/12/1906 No reason for the name has been found. There are no known property owners or their family members with that name. Possibly the female first name Sylvia, or a variation of similar street names throughout the Shire from the Latin ‘silvanus’ meaning ‘of the forest’ Silvanus was the Roman god of forests. The female name Sylvia comes from the same source.

The subdivider of the Estate in which Taloombi Street was named, Reginald William Sydney Harris, also subdivided, in the next couple of years, large estates quite near the Taloombi at Caringbah (now Caringbah South). Taloombi was the name of a former parish in the Clarence River area of northern NSW and was the name of a large cattle station in that area and was the house name of the Deputy Director of Education at Summer Hill in the late 1890s. The origin of the name has not been determined, possibly Aboriginal, but no similar word found.

DP The next section of this road opened in 1894 between Port Hacking Road (later Kingsway) and Woronora Road (later President Avenue, but at that time was named “Woodside Road.” The next part, and named Taren Road in 1901 was between Yowie Bay and Caringabah (later Caringbah) Road, with a planned extension through to Woronora Road (which did not show on a subdivision plan until 1911). In 1914, that section of road was shown as “Tareen Road,” but this appears to be a drafting error, as the following year it has returned to Taren Road. In 1911 the name Taren Road was extended along the road later known as Taren Point Road from The Boulevard(e) to Parraweena Road, but did not extend further as a 1914 subdivision clearly shows the road from Parraweena Road to Taren Point as “Taren Point Road.” After the Cronulla-Sutherland railway split Taren Road, the section north of the railway was renamed as Taren Road North in 1947. By implication that extended through to Parraweena Road, and most subdivision plans up to 1947 still showed that section as Taren Road, even though it was commonly referred to as Taren Point Road from Kingsway right through to Taren Point. In 1948, Taren Road North was renamed as Taren Point Road, but only between the

No origin of the name ‘Taren’ has been found by historians, although it may be a derived Aboriginal word. The closest Aboriginal words found were ‘tarun’ meaning ‘lagoon’ and ‘taree’ meaning ‘a tomahawk or fruit bat.’ Taren Road Sutherland Renamed because split by Cronulla- CL North (DISC) Sutherland railway, but in 1948 renamed 3/10/1947 as part of Taren Point Road.

Taren Point Taren Point Originally an unnamed Crown road which CL Road & Caringbah ran north from Box Road to what is now 30/11/1911 the centre of the F6 Freeway (Taren Point Road) opposite the end of Smith Street. Apparently that road became locally known as Commons (or Comyns or Cummins) Point Road. In 1888, that road was widened and extended to the Point. (NOTE: the name of the Point shown on parish maps of the time is shown as Commons Point but by 1900 it was being changed to Taren Point). The first subdivision to actually show the name of the road was registered in 1911, and a plan from 1914 showed that the name Taren Point Road extended north from Parraweena Road to Taren Point. (Before Captain Cook Bridge was built the shoreline was about 50 metres north of Holt Road). It would seem that the section between Parraweena Road and Kingsway may have been locally known as Taren Point Road, but was officially part of Taren Road up to 1947, when the part of Taren Road north of the railway line was named Taren Road North. In 1948, the part of Taren Road between

By implication it included the remainder of Taren Road North to Parraweena Road, thereby extending from the railway to Taren Point. None of the route of Taren Point Road was ever formally acquired for the F6 Freeway (Taren Point Road) but was simply included in the freeway corridor, however the section north-west of the freeway corridor was renamed as Old Taren Point Road in 1971. No record has been found of the section of F6 Freeway between Captain Cook Bridge and Holt Road being officially named as Taren Point Road. The first use of that name was in 1967 when the Department of Main Roads described the route of Main Road No 199 as via “Captain Cook Bridge and Taren Point Road to Kingsway” No origin of the name ‘Taren’ has been found by historians, although it may be a derived Aboriginal word.
