       Application for Road Naming – Airport Precinct

       The Town has received applications from Hedland Men’s Shed and Port Hedland International Airport for proposed new street names for the Airport Precinct following the Great Northern Highway Realignment.

       Details of the proposal include:

       Arif Close – Julie Arif was a dedicated and active member of our community, serving on various committees, including the Hedland Men’s Shed, and previously holding a tenure as a council member. Her contributions to the town were significant and naming this street after her would be a fitting tribute to her legacy.

       Dixon Drive – "Dixon" or "Dixons" named after the caravan park, shop and roadhouse originally constructed in the late 1960s and only changing name in the 1990s after being sold. The roadhouse and accommodation on Lot 2 & 3 are still referred to as Dixon's by long term locals and visitors who fondly remember the caravan park and its owner, the late Cecil John Dixon (8 Oct 1931 to 16 Jan 2021).

       John Adams Road - In 1942 World War II saw three air raids on Port Hedland by Japanese planes. “Betty” bombers unleashed a tirade of 60kg bombs plus anti-personal and incendiary bombs. Sadly, there was one casualty, 19 year old Private John Adams, a young infantryman based at the airfield.

       Flyboy Road – A group of ‘dashing’ aviators, coined ‘dare devils’ used the old Port Hedland racecourse aerodrome during the mid 1930’s. These included Len Taplin, Major Brearley, Bertie Heath, Keith Anderson, Eric Chater, Jimmy Woods and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and his famous Southern Cross tri-motor aircraft.

      The proposed roads are located here
