O’Connor Place in Burnside – Named after Reginald Vincent O’Connor (1927-) O’Connor, of O’Connor Enterprises Ltd., bought 2.46 hectares of land from Lion Breweries, owner of neighbouring Russley Hotel. He divided the land into 29 residential sections and formed the street. First appears in street directories in 1995. Information supplied in 2008 by Reg O’Connor in an interview with Colin Amodeo who passed the information on to Margaret Harper.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and Reg O’Connor died in 2015 aged 88.
There were a few ads on Papers Past in 1986 and 1988 for houses available in the exclusive subdivision. The houses in the street were built in the 1980s and 1990s.
I walked this street a week ago and there is a footpath on only one side of the street. The houses were a variety of styles and it looked like a pleasant street.
