No, at this stage we are seeking feedback from the community about whether to proceed with renaming the northern portion of Queen Street to Sister Janet Mead Street.

The feedback received during public consultation will be presented back to the Elected Members of Council to inform their decision on whether the proposed street renaming should go ahead. This consultation report is anticipated to be considered by Council in July or August 2026.

If you are an owner, occupier or business along Queen Street, there are many things to consider.

If you live or operate a business along the northern portion of Queen Street and the proposed street renaming goes ahead, then you will need to make sure that your address is updated. This will include, but not be limited to, consideration of the following:

• Notifying friends and relatives who may visit you or send you letters of your change of address.
• Updating your contact details with your bank, utility providers or other entities that need to know your address or may send you important letters.
• Updating your address for any accounts that may send you mail or packages (such as Amazon).
• Updating your address with State and Federal government bodies (such as Centrelink, Medicare, the Australian Taxation Office).
• Updating your address on your driver’s licence via Service SA.
• Updating your business’ address on company website, business cards and informing suppliers and customers of the change of address.
• Updating your contact and property details with your insurer(s).

It is anticipated that your street numbering will stay the same, but that your street name will change (for example, if you live a 20 Queen Street, your new address will be 20 Sister Janet Mead Street).

There may be other considerations not included in the following, depending on your personal circumstances.

The street numbering of the southern part of the street is not proposed to change.

If you live along the southern portion of Queen Street (between Carrington Street and Halifax Street) then your street name and number will not change. Although the numbering of the southern portion of Queen Street follows the numbering of the northern portion of Queen Street, we are not proposing to update the numbering of these properties to avoid confusion and limit the number of addresses impacted by the proposed street renaming.

If Council decides to proceed with the renaming of Queen Street to Sister Janet Mead Street, the City of Adelaide will inform relevant State and Federal Government agencies such as emergency services, Australia Post, Registrar-General, Surveyor-General and Valuer-General about the change to the street name.

The City of Adelaide will provide owners and occupiers with at least two months’ notice before the street name change comes into effect.

The City of Adelaide will update the street name signage along Queen Street at the time that the new street naming comes into effect.

If Council decides to proceed with the renaming of Queen Street to Sister Janet Mead Street, we will write to all affected owners and occupiers to let them know about the decision and confirm what their new address will be.

We will also post updates about the outcome on the Our Adelaide website on the project page.
