Naming Opportunities

Council is now seeking name proposals for the following locations across our Shire.

New road name for:

• Extension from Elmores Road, Korumburra (map here).
• A section of Simons Lane, Leongatha South (map here).
• Western section of Treadwells Road, Poowong North (map here).

Name for:

• Unnamed roads in the Korumburra Rail Precinct (map here).
• Laneway between Commercial and Little Commercial Streets, Korumburra.
• Footbridge connecting the Leongatha Rail Precinct and Bair Street.
• Walking Path between Burchett Drive and White Birch Close, Poowong (map here).
• Walking Path Proposal between Bradley Avenue and Canterbury Road, Venus Bay (map here).

These locations have been selected because they are newly constructed, planned road upgrades or were submitted as a community request.

Under the Naming Rules, South Gippsland Shire Council is a naming authority and is responsible for creating or changing the names of places, streets and roads in the Shire.

Things to Consider

The naming or renaming process gives us an opportunity to recognise the importance of local history, culture and identity of the area within South Gippsland.

In the Naming Rules, Council must be mindful of needing to achieve balanced representation of:

• Indigenous Australians.
• Gender equality.
• Local historical events or figures.
• A multicultural present.
