Road naming

Street sign reading 'Trawalla 6' and 'Trawalla Waterloo Road'

New roads need road names and sometimes old roads need to be renamed. Geographic Names Victoria oversees the naming of roads and places in Victoria following the naming rules.

The naming rules are based on national standards and policies. They provide a strong basis for standardised and clear naming procedures across the state.
