Appropriate naming is essential to identify locations for managing emergencies and delivering goods and services in Victoria. The naming rules are based on national standards and policies. They provide a strong basis for standardised and clear naming procedures across the state. They have been developed through detailed consultation with councils, government departments, emergency agencies and public service providers.

The proper naming of any place enables it to be clearly identified and its precise location to be determined. The uniqueness and accuracy of a place name reduces the likelihood of delaying an emergency services vehicle due to inappropriate or confusing location details, which might result in life threatening consequences.
