Make your mark — help name the West Gate Tunnels

You’re invited to help name the new West Gate Tunnels to celebrate the unique culture, heritage, and stories of Melbourne’s west, and go into a draw to win a $500 Shell Gift Card.

The winner will also get to nominate a community organisation or charity for a $2,500 donation.

What are we naming?

The two tunnels will play a key role in connecting communities and improving travel in and around Melbourne's western suburbs, as well as creating new connections with Melbourne's CBD and the Port of Melbourne.

  • 2.8 km inbound tunnel from the West Gate Freeway to the Maribyrnong River, for drivers going to the city
  • A 4 km outbound tunnel from the Maribyrnong River to the West Gate Freeway near to Altona North, for drivers heading to Melbourne's western suburbs and beyond.
