Queensland place naming
open-in-new
<p>Queensland place naming is the process by which the <a href="/facts/Queensland_Government/zk1aH1XD">Queensland Government</a> assigns names to locations of natural features (for example, mountains and rivers) and man-made places such as settlements for example, towns and suburbs) within <a href="/facts/Queensland/lXBlIeY3">Queensland</a>, Australia. Place naming must be consistent and accurate to prevent confusion and inefficiency in everyday activities, for example, delivering goods and services, and strict guidelines apply to place naming in Queensland. </p>
