NAME A PLACE

Do you know an unsung hero who has left a lasting legacy in your community?

The State Government is inviting all Victorians to nominate someone who has made a significant contribution to be considered for a new place name, particularly individuals from under-represented groups including women, First Peoples and multicultural communities.

Anyone who has left a lasting legacy can be nominated. For example, the person may be known for community and volunteer work, healthcare, science, architecture and building, sport, arts, public or military service.
