The City of Vincent is seeking community feedback on a proposal to name the laneway between Fleet and Loftus streets in Leederville.

The proposed name, Manifis Lane, recognises Basil Manifis (1911-1963) for his charitable contributions to the local community.

This includes his role as Founding Secretary in 1939, later President, of the Australasian Hellenic Educational Progressive Association and contributions to various Hellenic sporting organisations, as well as assisting newly arrived Greek migrants to transition into Australian society.

He was also for many years the owner of a property directly adjacent to the laneway proposed for naming.

If this proposal receives community support, Vincent will submit an application to Landgate, the State organisation which approves the naming of roads.

Visit Imagine Vincent to find out more and have your say.

Consultation closes 4pm Monday, 30 March 2026.
