Monarch Lane in red zone in Burwood – Developed at 115 Kingsford Street. Named in 1999. The residents on an existing right of way at 115 Kingsford Street have been experiencing problems with visitors locating their properties and mail delivery, and have requested that the Council approve a name for their right of way.
A small amount of information from the library and a council report. As this private lane ran off Kingsford St the most likely reason for the name is aviation related. The other possible reason is royalty related because of the original suburb name of Windsor. When walking along Kingsford St I almost missed this lane as there is very little evidence that there used to be houses here.
