Jordan Springs name change

The formal suburb name change for the Central Precinct of the St Marys Release Area changed from Llandilo to Jordan Springs on 22 November 2019.

What do I need to do?

If you are in the expansion area, the most important thing to do is make sure that everyone you are in contact with is aware of the change. Just like when you move house, you need to make sure all those you do business with know your new address. Emergency Services have been formally notified.

What area changed?

The Central Precinct was previously located in the rural suburb of Llandilo, a historic arrangement that existed prior to the development of the release area.

The boundaries of Jordan Springs extended to incorporate the area known as ‘Central Precinct’ of the St Marys release area, the surrounding areas of open space and Wianamatta Regional Park.

Has my postcode changed?

Only the name of the suburb has changed. The postcode (2747) stays the same, as do the street names and suburb layout.

Why were the changes implemented?

The development of the Central Precinct is underway but new suburb arrangements were not settled prior to development commencing. The current arrangement, with no road connecting Llandilo to the Central Precinct, is causing confusion for residents, visitors and the emergency and postal services. It is also affecting property valuations and insurance arrangements. These issues triggered the need to consider new suburb naming arrangements.

Who is the authority for Suburb Names and Boundaries?

Under the Geographical Names Act 1966, the Geographical Names Board (GNB) is responsible for assigning suburb names, determining their extent and publishing their details in the NSW Government Gazette.

The role of Local Government in suburb naming and boundary changes is to communicate proposals with residents, request submissions and comments, review submissions and provide information for Council elected representatives to make an informed decision. Resolutions of Council are provided to the Geographical Names Board to make a final decision on proposals.

Updates to Google Maps and Apple Maps

Penrith City Council is aware many customers use online map services such as Google Maps or Apple Maps and ongoing efforts to locate a direct contact for these large international companies has unfortunately not been successful.

Council is working to notify Google and spatial services to update the suburb name change.

Ordering and delivery of parcels

When ordering products and services, it is recommended to include a statement that your suburb has recently changed in the additional information section often provided online. This will ensure the company is aware of the suburb change and assist with the delivery of the product to the correct address.

To assist with changing over to your new suburb, Australia Post has agreed to recognise both your old and new suburb for approximately six (6) months until 22 May 2020.

During this six (6) month period, Australia Post will continue to deliver your mail if it is addressed to your old suburb, however you must update your contacts with your new address as soon as possible.

Updates to Suburb & Street Signage

Council is working with the developer to update street signs to reflect the suburb name change.
