Proposed naming of laneway in Bulleen

After receiving valuable community feedback during our recent consultation on the proposed name 'Kiln Lane', we've decided not to proceed with the name. This, in part, was due to some concerns raised regarding the difficulty in spelling and correctly hearing the word Kiln, particularly over the phone.

We are now proposing a new name for the laneway; 'Brickmakers Lane'. This name was suggested by the community during the public consultation process and maintains ties to the area’s brickmaking past. 'Brickmakers Lane' complies with Victoria's naming rules for places.

We’re now seeking community feedback on the proposed name - 'Kiln Lane'.

We’re proposing to name the laneway ‘Kiln Lane’, in recognition of the area’s brickmaking past – previously home to the Bulleen Brickworks, located nearby on Templestowe Road. Established by Glen Iris Bricks in the 1950s, the brickworks was taken over by Boral Bricks in 1970 before closing down in the late 1900s.
