Aligning naming to international frameworks
Victoria complies with and supports international resolutions and goals outlined by the United Nations by assigning place names. 1.

Geographic Names Victoria has made connections to UNGEGN resolutions (United Nations Group of Experts on Geographic Names) and UN SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals). 2.
Go online and see how our naming principles align with UNGEGN resolutions and SDG Goals and targets.
SDGs can not be delivered without spatial data, none more so than having official place names to enable reporting.
