Commercial Area

Bangor is a mostly residential suburb with a small shopping centre which consists of Bangor Community Pharmacy, Bangor post office, Bangor Bakery, The Chicken Spot, Franklins and Bangor Chinese. Most residents rely on other commercial centres, particularly Menai, for services. Bangor's outskirts are surrounded by privately owned bushland, which is undeveloped. The last development application for this land was declined, thankfully, as the bush is home to Bangors large range of native wildlife including (but not limited to) possums, bats, variety of birds, snakes and bilby's. The bush surrounding 80% of the primarily anglosaxin suburb, links it to the natural Australia, and residents find a sense of outback within it.

Since the Bangor Bypass was opened, extensive roadworks have been implemented to Bangor's main road, Menai Road. These included narrowing of the road, traffic lights at the intersection with Dandarbong Avenue and a small parking area for parents outside Bangor Primary School. During the Easter Show period, these changes have caused the large quantities of drivers that normally park along the formerly curb-less road to park in narrow neighbouring streets. However, similar changes to the road within Menai have caused Easter Show parkers to park along the outer traffic lane of Menai Road. The Bangor Bypass, completed in February 2005, was designed to alleviate traffic on the main road through Bangor and Menai (Menai Road) as well as increasing travel speed through the area. ...

History

The name 'Bangor' was selected in 1895 by the land's owner, a farmer named Owen Jones, after his birthplace Bangor in Wales. To avoid confusion with Bangor in Tasmania, the Postmaster General's Office changed the suburb name to Menai in 1910. Another Australian Bangor is located in South Australia. Menai Bridge is a town opposite the original Bangor, on the Menai Straits in Wales. When Menai expanded, the eastern section was renamed Bangor in 1976.
