Update: Request to rename Rose Street withdrawn by applicant

After receiving a letter from the applicant seeking to withdraw their request to rename Rose Street, Mile End to Hellenic Avenue, Council passed a resolution at its 19 January 2021 meeting to not proceed any further with the consultation process or the proposal to consider renaming the street.

The initial request to rename Rose Street, Mile End was submitted by the Greek Orthodox Community and Parish of St George Thebarton and Western Suburbs SA Inc. (St George Thebarton) to acknowledge the 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence. The matter was discussed by Council at its 8 December 2020 meeting and commencement of consultation to explore public sentiment was approved.

However, it has become apparent to St George Thebarton through the course of the consultation that their proposal has not been well received by many residents within this area. Accordingly, they wrote to Council on 11 January seeking to withdraw their request for the name change in the interests of community unity.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their involvement and invaluable feedback throughout the consultation process.

The full report can be viewed in the 19 January 2021 Council and Standing Committees agenda.



A request has been made by the Greek Orthodox Community and Parish of St George Thebarton and Western Suburbs SA for Council to consider renaming Rose Street in Mile End to Hellenic Avenue, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence.

Under the Local Government Act 1999 (Section 219), councils can assign or change the name of a public road and, as such, the Council has resolved to investigate the renaming request by consulting with the local community. A report presenting the results will then be provided to Council.

The council report regarding the proposal can be viewed in the Council and Committees Agenda 8 December 2020.

If you require information in another language, please contact Council during business hours on 8416 6333.


Background Information

25 March 2021 will see the 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence which commenced on 25 March 1821. This event is celebrated each year in Greece and across the worldwide Greek community.

Having been under Ottoman rule since 1453, the Greek War of Independence began on March 25, 1821 when the Bishop of Patras raised the flag of revolution over the Monastery of Agia Lavra in the Peloponnese. The war of independence ended in 1829 when the Treaty of Edirne established an independent Greek state.


Street Location

The Saint George Greek Orthodox Church is located at 60 Rose Street with the Senior Campus of St George College located at 75 Rose Street and the Junior Campus at 54 Rose Street. As such, Rose Street is a significant cultural, religious and educational destination place for many of our Greek Community.

Greek translation


Πρόταση μετονομασίας της Rose Street, Mile End.

Η Δημαρχεία του West Torrens προτείνει να μετονομάσει τη Rose Street, Mile End σε Hellenic Avenue (Ελληνική Λεωφόρο), Mile End για να εορτάσει την 200η επέτειο της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης Απελευθέρωσης.

Σύμφωνα με το εδάφιο 219 του Νόμου Περί Τοπικής Διακυβέρνησης 1999, η Δημαρχεία του West Torrens (CWT) δύναται να δώσει ή να αλλάξει το όνομα ενός δημόσιου δρόμου. Ως εκ τούτου, το Δημοτικό Συμβούλιο αποφάσισε να ερευνήσει τη μετονομασία και να αναζητήσει σχόλια από τους δημότες.


Γενικές πληροφορίες

Μετά υπό Οθωμανική κυριαρχία από το 1453, η Ελληνική Επανάσταση Απελευθέρωσης άρχισε στις 25 Μαρτίου 1821 όταν ο Επίσκοπος Πάτρας ύψωσε το λάβαρο της επανάστασης στο Μοναστήρι της Αγίας Λαύρας στην Πελοπόννησο. Η επανάσταση έληξε το 1829 όταν η Συνθήκη του Εντιρνέ ίδρυσε ανεξάρτητο Ελληνικό κράτος.

Η 200η επέτειος της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης Απελευθέρωσης θα είναι στις 25 Μαρτίου 2021. Το γεγονός αυτό εορτάζεται κάθε χρόνο στην Ελλάδα και την Ελληνική κοινότητα σε όλο τον κόσμο.


Τοποθεσία του δρόμου

Η Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία Αγίου Γεωργίου βρίσκεται στο 60 Rose Street το δε Ανώτερο Κολλέγιο Αγίου Γεωργίου βρίσκεται στο 75 Rose Street και το Κατώτερο Κολλέγιο βρίσκεται στο 54 Rose Street. Ένεκα τούτου, η Rose Street είναι ένα σημαντικό μέρος πολιτισμικού, θρησκευτικού και μορφωτικού προορισμού για πολλά μέλη της Ελληνική μας παροικίας.
