4. consult, where relevant, with the:
   1. the Head of Campus for the relevant campus to ensure any proposed name is appropriate in the context of the local community;
   2. the relevant Indigenous organisation in determining appropriate Indigenous words to be used;
   3. the family of the deceased where required (this is generally only necessary where there are close living relatives who knew the deceased and have an interest in the protection and promotion of the person's name, or where the family have maintained a strong historic connection in the promotion and protection of the figure);
   4. the Local Government Authority, and the NSW Geographical Naming Board, to ensure proposed names are appropriate and conform to the NSW Road Naming Policy and AS/NZS 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing in determining recommendations to the University Council;

1. publish the proposed name approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in a local paper circulating in the area or promote by such other means as approved by the Geographical Names Board for public comment, and:
   1. if there is no serious objection, at the end of the public comment period refer the recommended name to the Geographical Names Board for registration;
   2. if there is a serious objection, at the end of the public comment period refer the recommended name back to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to determine if to proceed with the naming or to identify an alternative name;
