Marconi Road

Originally an unnamed road, the first section was named in 1978. The remaining section was gazetted on the 6 July 1984. A section of this road is a boundary of the Dora Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Another section is the entry road to the Henry Kendall Bayside Village. The award winning Italian designed ship Guglielmo Marconi and sister ship the Galileo Galilei were the last passenger ships purpose-built for the Australian immigration service, ceasing duty in 1977.
