We’re inviting all Moonee Valley residents to nominate someone who has made a significant contribution to be considered for future place naming projects, particularly individuals from under-represented groups, including women, First Peoples and multicultural communities that have contributed to the fabric of Moonee Valley over the years and helped make our communities thriving places. The person nominated must be deceased, have left a lasting legacy and have a long association with the Moonee Valley area.

Nominations will be added to Council’s name bank, to be considered when places need naming.

In August 2023, the State Government launched a new Victoria’s Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan 2023-2027

This strategy is aiming to increase the commemoration of women through the naming of roads, features and localities within Victoria.

Geographical Names Victoria is working with naming authorities (Local Government) to increase the commemorative of women in place naming, by setting a level of 70% of new requests for commemorative naming of new roads, placenames and landmarks to be achieved within the lifetime of the Strategy.
