| ANZAC Commemorative Naming Project - LAUNCH |
The ANZAC Commemorative Naming Project was recently announced by the State Government. The project, is being managed by the Office of Geographic Names (OGN), will raise Victorians’ awareness of the sacrifice of our veterans and communities and leave a lasting legacy.
Names that reflect the sacrifice of our veterans and communities will be assessed and proposed to form road, feature and locality name proposals.
OGN will seek council attendance at a road show where we will provide more information and a forum to meet with key local groups such as school teachers and RSL and historical society members.
Further information will be provided through our dedicated webpage: www.dse.vic.gov.au/namingplaces.
Please contact Rafe Benli, Project Officer, on 8636 2851 or email geo.names@dse.vic.gov.au if you require further information. |

| VICNAMES and road name origins |
You can now record the history of a road name origin in VICNAMES in the same way that the history of a place name can be recorded.
Further improvements include:
ability to search for ANZAC-related names;
ability to download road name origin history;
enhancements to the Historical Information online form;
a new Creative Commons license agreement for use of the data.
These enhancements are part of the ANZAC Commemorative Naming Project which will see roads, features and localities being named across Victoria.
Visit VICNAMES and enter a road name to add historical information. |
