Councillor Alan Harris said of the West Launceston location the previous landowners were the parents of the developer.

He requested the street, located at 5 and 9 West Park Drive, West Launceston be named Barbara Close.

The new residential street constructed off Gudvar Street at Youngtown name request was also passed and will be Tasha Street.

While councillors did pass the requests, Councillor Rob Soward noted there could be some confusion in the future.

He said if a Barbara or Tasha were to move into those locations, there could be issues when a person's name is very similar to a street name.

"If there is a Barbara Close living in Barbara Close, it could be interesting," he said.
