Welcome

Update 16 November, 2021 - The renaming of the laneway has been registered with the Office of Geographic Names.

We thank you for your interest in this project.


The City of Greater Geelong is proposing to name an unnamed laneway in Belmont.

It is proposed to name the laneway that runs between properties known as 1 & 3 Scott Street through to Regent Street as “Inspiration Lane”, Belmont. This name has been chosen as the streets in the vicinity are named after historic Antarctic Explorers. Due to their extraordinary accomplishments these Explorers were considered to inspire the communities of the time.

Written submissions regarding this road renaming will be open from 27 November, to 30 December, 2020.

This road renaming is being completed in accordance with the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria by linking the name to place.
