Deejay Lane – Named after Desmond Joseph Soper (1919- 1993). Soper was a builder. Named in 2006.A tiny amount of information from the library website and the date 2006 is totally wrong.
I remember Deejay Lane from my Post Office days so 2006 isn’t possible for the naming of this street. Checked QV website and all houses bar one are from 1970s. There was one house from 1950. Checked ancestry website and Desmond Soper in 1978 and 1981 lived at 3 Deejay Lane going by the electoral rolls. In 1972 he lived at 64A Domain Tce and this address doesn’t exist any longer. Going by Google maps the properties here were huge. Personally I feel that Deejay Lane is where 64A Domain Tce used to be and would have been named in the 1970s. Desmond Soper is likely to have had the nickname Deejay based on his in
