The streets, located in the Rockbank Suburb of Melton City Council, covered many famous cricketers with names such as Akram Way, Hadlee Street, Tendulkar Drive, Akhtar Avenue, Miandad Street, Inzamam Street, Khan Street, Kohli Crescent, Sobers Drive and Dev Terrace.
When asked about the street names, Property Developer Varun Sharma stated, “As soon as we announced street names after cricketers, the inquiries doubled. Who would not like to live on Kohli crescent? You never know Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli might drive by the street when he is in Melbourne this December.”
City of Melton Mayor Cr Lara Carli shared her opinion about the initiative, saying:
“Street names in our City are usually submitted by developers and approved by Council if they meet Office of Geographic Names guidelines. It seems these cricket-themed names are already popular with cricket fans in our community and beyond. It’s great to see a positive response to these names, and it’s something I’m sure the developer and surrounding residents can be proud of.”
However, it seems that not everyone agrees that naming the streets in Melbourne after cricketers, including Pakistani ones, is a way to convince people to buy houses.
Property Consultant Vivek Handa said, “In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what the name of the street is. When people plan to buy land or house they check many other parameters. One should always look at how close the schools, transport, hospitals, and supermarkets are rather than gushing over the street name.”
