The following history of street names is reproduced from the Investigator with the kind permission of W. J. (Bill) Morrow and the Geelong Historical Society. Note : please remember that the Investigator began more than 30 years ago, therefore some names and buildings have since disappeared into history.
| Allambie Street | Watkins Estate. Name of Watkins' farm at Leopold. |
| Athlon Avenue | Watkins Estate. Name of Mrs. Watkins' family home at Woorndoo in Western District (family name - Barr.) Means 'peaceful place'. |
| Balmoral Gardens | An allusion to the beautiful royal Balmoral Castle in Scotland: the land also seems to surround public land, probably ceded by the subdividers on which recreational buildings and equipment may later be erected. See Highland's Estate. |
| Barrabool Crescent | The origins are obvious as the proprietors have an affinity with Lorne and the country leading to it. See Tareeda Properties. |
| Bawtree Road | Samuel Bawtree was the original purchaser of the surrounding blocks from the Crown. |
| Bennett Street | Carroll Estate. Named after Mrs. Carroll's maiden surname. |
| Birchbank Crescent | Running off Christies Road, the land in the subdivision is owned by Mr. Jack Wellam, who intends to plant an avenue of birch trees on the land for environmental reasons. |
| Bisinella Court | Bay City Views Estate. Prolific subdivider in the Lara area, Lino Bisinella has turned his attention to land in the Bellarine Rural City area, hence the two obvious namings (the other reference is to Lino Court, Whittington). Lino Bisinella was previously a plasterer. |
| Carroll Street | Watkins Estate. Named after Mr. L. Carroll - subdivider. |
| Christies Road | The surname of the proprietor of the hotel that once stood at the road's junction with the Drysdale Road, Curlewis - the Help Me Through The World and later the Union Hotel. |
| Courtney Drive | Bay City Views Estate. Named by the surveyor after Courtney Blood, a family friend. The name suggested itself because the adjoining estate had a street named Amy Court and Courtney Blood has a sister Amy. |
| Credo Court | Kensington Park. This small court in the estate carries the name of an early goldmining area near Kalgoorlie which was visited regularly by the subdivider's father who was in charge of the district ore stamper. |
| Cresta Street | Watkins Estate. Crest of Leopold Hill. |
| Dalhaus Court | Takes the family name of the subdivider, Theo Dalhaus. |
| Dane Court | Named after the proprietors' youngest son, Dane Tristan, borne at Lorne on September 4, 1979. See Tareeda Properties |
| Dendle Street | Stanley Dendle was said to have farmed the land comprising the sub-division for forty or more years, but his forebears had been there for over a century. Although the Dendle family did not name the street, the then owner apparently thought it an appropriate name for the central street. |
| Dorothy Street | Simons Estate. Named after Dorothy Thoms, wife of surveyor Arthur Clive Thoms and a relative of Mr. P. B. Simons. |
| Emma Court | This street in the Warrawee Heights Estate takes the name of Emma, the five-year-old daughter of the subdivider, Russell Walker. |
| Glen Court | Glenfield Estate. Subdivider, architect Wal Hodgson, carried on business at 'Glenfield', 45 McKillop Street, earlier occupied (from 1896) by solicitor, Hodges Hall; for the purposes of the subdivision he contracted the name to Glen Court. |
| Glengarwyn Road | Watkins Estate. Street in Pontypool, Wales, where Mr. E. C. Watkins was born. |
| Highland's Estate | This estate lies west of Christies Road (named after an early proprietor of the Union Inn which was situated on the Drysdale Road near Curlewis); the street names chosen have no particular significance, being chosen for their immediate appeal to land buyers. |
| Highland Way | The subdivision is on high land abutting the south side of Drysdale Road. See Highland's Estate. |
| Kambalda Court | Kensington Park, Rebecca Drive Estate. The subdivisional name originally selected by the subdivider, Jim Elliott, of mobile crane fame, was not acceptable to the Bellarine municipality which allocated the name of the flourishing mining centre, Kambalda, Western Australia. |
| Kanimbla Avenue | Watkins Estate. Named after troopship of World War II on which Mr. Watkins served. |
| Lawrence Street | Carroll Estate. Named after Christian name of Mr. Carroll. |
| Leicester Park Estate | The family of Charles Malpas (the inventor of the popular wine cask of today) has held Leicester Park for many years; his son, John, gave the geographical name to the subdivisional street. |
| Maddison Avenue | Kensington Park. The land in this subdivision was known as Illa Langi and was sold to the subdivider, Murray McAllister, by Mrs Gwynneth Maddison, a well-known resident of Leopold. As he had used up most of his family references, the family name of the vendor was an obvious solution for him. |
| Neri Street | Crawcour Estate. Hebrew word - meaning light. |
| Nicholas Street | Bay City Views Estate. Named after the young son of the surveyor of the estate, Rick Payne, of A. C. Thomas and Partners. |
| Otway Court | The origins are obvious as the proprietors have an affinity with Lorne and the country leading to it. See Tareeda Properties. |
| Rebecca Court | Carries the name of the daughter of Roy Harris, a surveyor with Southern Surveys. See Tareeda Properties |
| Ridgeview Court | Ridgeview Court Estate. This court is so named because the estate is sited on a ridge which enables all the blocks to have a fine, uninterrupted view of Geelong. |
| Simons Street | Simons Estate. Named after subdivider late Mr. P. B. Simons. |
| Tamar Court | Crawcour Estate. Biblical - Child of King David. |
| Tareeda Properties | J.A. and V. Callanan, trading as Tareeda Properties, [ ... ] supplied the origins of streets named by them. |
| The Court | Running off Ash Road, this street was named by the proprietors' daughter, Taryn, born at Lorne on August 8, 1977 - it is an unusually long street but remains a court. See Tareeda Properties |
| Tivon Heights | Crawcour Estate. Town in Israel between Haifa and Nazareth. |
| Viewbay Drive | All lots face north and have an unrestricted view of Corio Bay. See Highland's Estate. |
| Washington Gardens | This is the main street of the second part of the subdivision and has an obvious American flavour - Washington D.C. See Highland's Estate. |
| Wellam Court | John Wellam of the well-known earth-moving family subdivided the Mallew Estate - obviously a reversal of the family name. |
| Whitehorse Road | The Whitehorse Hotel stood at this road's junction with the Queenscliff Road. |
