<p>I'd hope (no proof!) that the DCS map uses the Geographical Name
Register (GNR) of NSW for the name. <br>
</p>
<p>The 'local name' might be just that - used locally. <br>
</p>
<p>Both 'names' need to be recorded. <br>

on the ground should come first unless it's a typo (yes street
signs sometimes have typos) and other names in use as the
alt_name.</div>

What is the consensus on precedence of alt_names, more for
roads and <br>
waterways.<br>
<br>
Example, I sometimes come across (NSW) creek name formal signs
that are <br>
quite different from what is shown on the DCS overlays. Is the
primary <br>
name the "on the ground" one and the DCS one alt? or the
reverse.<br>
<br>
It is also quite common to see suffixed "s" on names. Probably
not that <br>
important, but worth asking.<br>
<br>
Tnx<br>
