On 5 August 2024, the 10th Kelululu Ngardmau (Ngardmau State Legislature) at its third ordinary meeting, following extensive community consultation and collaborative efforts, officially named the streets within Ngardmau State.
In accordance with Public Law RPPL 10-50, which requires the development of a uniform national street and home address system, the Ngardmau State Government formed a working group to work with state leadership and citizens to come up with names for the roads. After several consultations and hearings, the street names were finalized and officially adopted by the 10th Kelulul Ngardmau through KN Resolution No. 10-43-2024.
The newly designated street names are as follows, which are now the official names of roads in Ngardmau State: Arumi Road extends from the intersection of Compact Road to Ngetbong Village, leading to Uchelrael Wharf or other villages. Ulung Lane branches off from the main state road near the Belau Submarine Cable Company (BSCC) facility and extends northeast to the old baseball field known as Ulung. Uchelrael Place joins at the intersection of Ongedechuul Road and Arumi Road and leads west to Uchelrael Wharf (Beches el Btelul a Chang). Ongedechuul Road encircles the state waiting room at Taocher a Iuekei, then continues northeast through Ngerutoi and Urdmau villages, eventually connecting to Compact Road. Cheliuis Lane begins at Ongedechuul Road near the historic site “Orsachel ra Dub” and descends southeast to a residential area. Diong ra Did Lane is an old path that branches off Ongedechuul Road in Urdmau and ends near the state river called Diong ra Did. Ngmall Lane is the main road leading to the Ngardmau State House, running from Compact Road to the main entrance of the State House. Ngerchelchuus Trail starts from a section of Compact Road and runs southwest to the top of Ngerchelchuus Hill.
The Ngardmau State Legislature expressed its full support for the designations and recognised the importance of community engagement in preserving local heritage and enhancing the recognition of places across the state.
The street naming project is part of the National Street Naming and Addressing Project mandated by RPPL 10-50, which aims to standardize addresses throughout the country. The Palau Automated Land and Resources Information System Office (PALARIS), under the Department of Finance’s Bureau of Budget and Planning, is responsible for implementing the project, while state governments are responsible for naming and officially approving their street names.
