Every street name in Ballarat has a story. Some honour local people, others reflect our landscape, history, or cultural traditions.

We’d love to hear your memories, reflections, or insights about the names of streets, lanes and places across Ballarat.

• Do you know the story behind a name?
• Do you have a family or community connection to a place?
• Have you seen old photos, maps, or documents that bring these names to life?

Your contribution will help us build a richer picture of Ballarat’s past and present. These stories can guide future naming proposals and preserve the connections our community has to place.
