The Spot is a locality in south-eastern Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Spot is located in the south-eastern part of the suburb of Randwick, around the intersection of Perouse Road and St Pauls Street. It is a vibrant part of Randwick and consists of a collection of shops, restaurants, cafes and a cinema. The Spot is a heritage conservation area〔See, Randwick City Council ''Development Control Plan 22: "The Spot" and surrounds'' (1995). A copy of the Plan is (available here ), accessed 9 May 2009〕 and has many heritage listed buildings, such as The Ritz Cinema and (Pan Arcadian House ), a 1930s Masonic Temple and most notably the facade of shops on the corner of Perouse Road and St Pauls Street which follows a curved pattern, necessary for the tram route which used to extend to Coogee Beach.〔See: Schedule 2, (''Randwick Local Environmental Plan 1998'' ), accessed 9 May 2009.〕 The Royal Hotel and Randwick shopping centre are a short distance away. The area is well served by public transport with regular buses from the Sydney CBD and Bondi Junction. == Name == The Spot lies at the geographic centre of a residential suburb that some maps identify as “St Pauls”.〔See, for example, (Google Map of the area )〕 The post office located at The Spot is also officially "St Pauls 2031."〔(Australia Post post office locator ), accessed 9 May 2009.〕 However, the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales does not list “St Pauls” as an officially registered place name within the Randwick Local Government Area.〔(NSW Geographical Names Board Localities in Randwick ), accessed 9 May 2009.〕 The locality name of "The Spot", too, is not officially registered with the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales and, despite wide use, would appear to remain unofficial.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Spot, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
