Consultation has concluded
Council is seeking feedback from the community to help us choose the name for the new residential estate coming soon to Edward Street.
This development will make much-needed residential blocks available to the northwest of Forbes CBD.
The proposed site will be located at the junction of Bogan Gate Road and Edward Street.
Proposed Names
Council has considered the history and heritage of the area and determined two possible names for the new estate.
Name #1: Blackridge Estate
Black Ridge was the original name given to the goldfield area where current day Forbes town is located. “Blackridge” acknowledges Forbes’ unique history as a gold rush town and its heritage significance.
Name #2: Wheatfields Estate
Forbes’ local economy is based on a strong and diverse agricultural industry, in particular grain crops including cereals and legumes. “Wheatfields” recognises the importance of agriculture in the Forbes area and celebrates wheat and grains grown in our region.
