Place Naming in Fishermans Bend


September 11, 2023

Tell us your stories and connections to Fishermans Bend to help ensure the Place Naming Framework accurately captures the area's past, present and future. Ends 9 October.

City of Melbourne is leading the development of a framework to guide the selection of names for future streets and open spaces that are yet to be created in two of Fishermans Bend's five precincts:

  1. the Fishermans Bend National Employment and Innovation Cluster (NEIC)
  2. the Lorimer Precinct

This framework is referred to as the Fishermans Bend Place Naming Framework.

This consultation process will enable us to hear a wide range of local stories and anecdotes relating to Fishermans Bend. These stories will help us shape the place naming themes and principles within the Framework to ensure the names of future streets and open spaces within Fishermans Bend are meaningful and celebrate the area’s rich history and future aspirations.

Existing place names such as 'Fishermans Bend' will not be changed through this process.

Share your ideas and memories by completing the online survey, visiting us at our pop-up or joining our online community workshop.
