Why can't we keep it as the Twelve Apostles Trail?
The name Twelve Apostles Trail was used to piggy-back off high awareness of the iconic attraction and to advocate for Stage 2: Port Campbell to Twelve Apostles.GNV has advised that naming the trail Twelve Apostles Trail would be non-compliant because the trail does not finish at the Twelve Apostles. This name creates a false expectation in visitors that they can reach the Twelve Apostles via the trail, an expectation that is currently not delivered.

Isn't there a plan to extend the trail from Port Campbell to the Twelve Apostles?
Corangamite Shire Council will continue to advocate for funding to plan and construct Stage 2: Port Campbell to Twelve Apostles trail. Considering that it took ten years to secure funding to complete Stage 1: Timboon to Port Campbell, this could take several years, if successful.

Why can’t we have a dual name?
Dual names may only be assigned to geographic features. Dual names cannot be assigned to roads or localities. For the purposes of GNV naming rules, a road is considered to be any public or private land-based thoroughfare or course navigable by vehicle or foot. The trail is therefore considered a road for naming purposes.
