Wyndham council is proposing to rename the old alignment of Palmers Road from Sayers Road to the new Palmers Road in Truganina ‘Sirius Court’.
As part of the state government’s Western Roads Upgrade Project, Palmers Road has been upgraded from Dunnings Road in Point Cook to the Western Freeway in Ravenhall.
Palmers Road from Sayers Road to the north was subsequently realigned during the upgrades.
To remove uncertainty for road users Major Roads Projects Victoria (MRPV) has requested that council proposes a new name.
Council says the name Sirius is derived from being the brightest star in the night sky and continues the “solar system theme” of the abutting subdivision, thereby meeting the requirements of the state government’s Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022, linking name to place.
As the naming authority for infrastructure within the municipality, council is required to conduct the naming process and submit a naming proposal to Geographic Naming Victoria to officially rename the road.
Wyndham residents can provide feedback on the name using a number of methods including via email, post and over the phone.
All submissions must be received by August 31, 2022.
