The City of Greater Dandenong has officially unveiled the name of Dandenong's public square as 'Harmony Square'.

To celebrate the announcement, temporary giant white letters are currently displayed proudly across the green lawns of the square, spelling out the new name. This sign is in place for the next six to eight weeks giving the name time to resonate with the community.

The City of Greater Dandenong invited the community to suggest names for the new public square during a three month campaign in 2014. A total of 164 suggestions were received and shortlisted to five potential names using local and state government naming guidelines. The short list of five possible names attracted a further 170 responses which were reviewed to assist Councillors in forming a decision for a final name for the square.

Harmony Square perfectly reflects the City of Greater Dandenong’s embracing culture where people of all ages and stages can live in peace and harmony. The word ‘harmony’ comes from the Greek ‘harmonia’, which means to fit together and to join.

The name Harmony Square promotes a culture of acceptance and community – making everyone feel they have a place to belong. This atmosphere is embodied in Harmony Square with people of different ages, cultures and life stages coming together to share the space, sit, relax and celebrate together in a safe and secure environment. Harmony Square is the name that resonated most strongly through an extensive community nomination and short listing process.

We encourage you to come down and share your selfies with the sign on social media with #harmonysquare.
