A request has been received to rename Nelson Avenue to Sailani Avenue in recognition of the sacrifice made by Indian soldiers while serving with the ANZACS.

Following the conclusion of the consultation period, final approval will be sought from Council, prior to the request being forwarded to Landgate, who acts on the Minister for Land’s behalf for all road naming approvals.

Private Sailani was one of the 12 known Indian Anzacs who enlisted into the Australian Imperial Forces during WW1 and was one of two Indian Anzacs who were killed in the Belgian campaign. Private Sailani is buried in Belgium, alongside fellow Australian soldiers who were killed in action and is the recipient of three medals including the British War Medal, the Victory Medal and the 1914/15 Star.
