Subject to the provisions of this section, the Minister or the Minister's delegate may, at the Minister's discretion or upon the application of any person, by Order made by the Minister, assign a name to a street, whether or not in substitution for a name already given, assigned or used.
An application under subsection (1) shall be in writing and shall contain such particulars as are prescribed.
An applicant shall provide the Minister with any further information that the Minister requires in order to consider the application.
Where the Minister refuses to approve an application the Minister shall provide the applicant with reasons in writing for doing so within a period of one month or less after refusing the application.
An applicant under this section may appeal the decision of the Minister in accordance with regulations made under this Law for the purposes of this section.
Where the Minister has approved an application before making an order under this section, the effect of which would be to assign a name to a street in substitution for that ordered immediately after the commencement of this Law, the Minister shall cause notice of his intention to be posted in a conspicuous position at each end of the street and shall publish notice of his intention in a newspaper circulating in the Islands.
Every notice posted or published under subsection (2) shall state the manner in which, and the time (being not less than one calendar month after the date of the notice) within which, objections to the intended order may be received by the Minister, and the Minister shall, before making the order, consider every objection sent to him, and may, having regard to any objection, amend any name which he has proposed to assign.
On the making of an order under this section the Minister shall —
within three days give notice of the making of the order and of the name of the street by circular delivered to every building to which access may be gained from the street; and
publish a copy of the order in the Gazette, whereupon the order shall have effect.
