The Papaflessas social club, whose Thornbury headquarters are adjacent to Kalamata Lane, had proposed the name to Darebin Council in 2021 as a way to recognise the Greek Community's contribution to Darebin.
Yesterday, Papaflessas Social Club Facebook announced that the laneway between 2 Gooch Street & 1 Raleigh Street, Thornbury, is now named "Kalamata Place".
