We are proposing to adopt the following names for the streets in the new residential subdivision in Young Street, Darlington Point. These names have been chosen to honor the town's rich historical and cultural ties.
1. Helena Parade
Named after former Darlington Point identity, Helena Pugh
Helena Pugh (1919-2013) was a bush nurse who worked in various posts around NSW, including in Darlington Point. After arriving in the town in 1962, she provided nursing services to many in the Aboriginal community. She was also a key organiser in many community activities such as Red Cross, balls, concerts and plays.

The Edwards family have a strong and continuous connection to Warangesda Mission and the township of Darlington Point.
