Kiama Council has endorsed the proposal to rename the suburb of Yellow Rock to Yellow Rock Ridge at this week's ordinary council meeting on 19 September. The proposal to rename the suburb, which is located in both Kiama and Shellharbour City Council LGAs, is to remedy the duplication of the suburb name Yellow Rock with another Yellow Rock in the Blue Mountains. Kiama and Shellharbour Councils undertook community consultation earlier this year to gauge support for the proposed name change. The Geographical Names Board of NSW (GNB) has the statutory responsibility to determine boundaries and names for suburbs and requires Council to endorse a name that has community support.
