| Name | Watertank Way |
|---|---|
| Description | Watertank Way was classified as a private way. Named 2016. Located at or near: 639 Lonsdale St. Probable or possible origin of name: Heritage-listed water tank, Melbourne Power Station, on site. Location is approximate. For more information, see: Bate, W., Broome, R., Davis, N., May, A. J., & Stitt, H. (2024). The story of Melbourne’s lanes: Essential but unplanned (pp. 139, 146, 202). ISBN 978-1-875173-12-9. "Rose Lane has been pedestrianised as part of the development and, like Watertank Way, has bollards across blocking through traffic. Across the road, its recently completed sister development, West Side Place, which includes a Ritz Carlton, is built on the site of the former Age newspaper office and has as one of its features 'open-air landscaped laneways'. This creation of laneways also features Heagney Passage, which is a short private entrance walkway off A'Beckett Street into the Queens Place development, and Lilardia Walk, providing entrance to the building off Queen Street. Heagney Passage is named for trade unionist and feminist Muriel Heagney (1885-1974), while Lilardia Walk was named after Aboriginal rights activist Margaret Tucker (1904-1996), Lilardia being her Aboriginal name, meaning flower." p. 146. |
