    <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

          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>
