The City is proposing to name an unnamed laneway as indicated on map below to Eythorne Lane, Newtown.
This road naming is being completed in accordance with the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria by linking the name to place.
The laneway is situated between Prospect Road and Aphrasia Street, Newtown. The new name has been chosen due to the historical link as the oldest heritage registered house named Eythorne, built in 1872 which is located on Aphrasia Street, Newtown.
