River Stone Drive in Halswell – River Stone is the developers name for the subdivision, which has taken its name from the stones that are found in numerous waterways and rivers around the area.
A small amount of information from the council minutes about the naming of streets in the subdivision.
Not a lot that I can say about the name of this street and as this area was a swamp I am not surprised that there were waterways here.
This street is too new to be on maps and the street was a bit confusing as there seemed to be two separate streets with this name going by the sign posts. Part of the street is still being developed and possibly will curve around to meet the other River Stone Drive but it would make for a strangely shaped street. There is a playground and reserve being developed on the corner of River Stone Drive and Whites Tramway Road.
