It’s official. Divinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett will have a Melbourne lane named in her honour.
Amphlett Lane has been given the final and official approval to go ahead by the City of Melbourne.
At a council meeting on Monday night the City of Melbourne moved to rename CL1639 to Amphlett Lane.
“The proposed name honours Australia’s “first lady of rock”’, a council release announced. Chrissy Amphlett passed away on April 21, 2013 after a long battle with breast cancer. Chrissy’s career began in Melbourne in the late 1970s and her history with Melbourne is long and colourful. She was christened at Collins Street Baptist Church, and worked at legendary Collins Street boutique The House of Merivale and Mr John. Chrissy Amphlett appeared with the Divinyls at the Palace Theatre on 2nd June 1995 and in The Boy From Oz at Princess Theatre in Melbourne between 21st May and 21st November 1999. Chrissy and Charley Drayton also signed their Marriage Licence in the Princess Theatre”.
CL1639 is between Harwood Place and Spring Street off Little Bourke Street, just behind the Princess Theatre.
