Image 1The City of Mandurah has recently upgraded the reserve on Blythwood Street, Dudley Park, and placed new signage (as per Image 1 above) at the site.
The spelling reflected on the sign is acknowledged as being different from the adjoining street name. To explain the reason for the difference in the spelling we advise the history of the naming at this location as follows:
‘Blythwood Street’ was officially named at Landgate in 1977 with its origin recorded at Landgate as after the ‘farming property in the Murray district’.
The farming property in question is Old Blythewood homestead which is spelt with an ‘e’.
The original developers of the land applied the name.
the reserve was subsequently named in 1998 after the adjoining street, without the ‘e’ to match the spelling of the street.
The signage placed upon the reserve shortly thereafter (refer Image 2 below), which was in place until just before the recent upgrade, included the ‘e’ to reflect the spelling of ‘Old Blythewood’.
Over the years, the City has regularly been advised by the public that the spelling of the street should be with an ‘e’ to matchImage 2 the homestead.
Upon preparing the new signage, officers consulted with Landgate, and it was determined that the original intent of the street name should be honoured and therefore the spelling should match the spelling of the homestead. Approval (2024 Job 4182 dated 16 April 2024) was subsequently obtained from Landgate.
The re-spelling of the street was also considered, however, as this would require a re-addressing of the existing properties on Blythwood St, and the associated inconvenience to these landowners, it was decided to not progress this.
