The City is a Naming Authority for places that they own or manage. Naming of all roads, features and localities in Victorian need to follow the statutory requirements of the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria.

Registering place names is essential to identify locations for managing emergencies and delivering goods and services in Victoria.

The City is undertaking this process to officially have this site registered with Geographic Names Victoria and protect our community.

This City has already named the Community Hub at 36 Torrens Street, Marong Marrungi Wayaparra Community Hub. This community hub includes:

• Marong Community Hall
• Marong Neighbourhood House and Community Garden
• The Old Fire Shed
• A Kindergarten

The City now plans to name the kindergarten Marrungi Wayaparra Kindergarten. Djaara have approved the proposal.

Marrungi Wayaparra means ‘meeting in Marong’ in language from Dja Dja Wurrung.

Make sure objections to the Naming Proposal comply with the principles and process outlined in the Official Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022. An objection is not valid if it is non compliant with the principles and process of the Naming Rules.
