Access routes named after prominent locals are helping passengers and emergency services navigate the 1,500 space Tarneit Station car park.
VicTrack has named the routes in collaboration with Ambulance Victoria to help emergency services find people easily in an emergency.
The routes – named Bugsy Loop, Jack Circuit, Beatrice Way and Beasley Loop – were chosen after a community competition.
The names were originally nominated by members of the public for VicTrack’s Bridge Naming Competition, which asked the community to name five rail bridges over the Geelong Line. As the names were not used for the bridges, VicTrack and Ambulance Victoria selected them for the Tarneit Station car park.

Bugsy Loop
Bugsy Loop is named after long-time Werribee resident and councillor Bruce Comben, best known by his nickname ‘Bugsy’. He served as a municipality councillor for 34 years and was mayor of Werribee twice.
As a footballer, Bruce played 188 games and was awarded an Order of Australia medal in 1982 for his services to the community and to Australian Football.
Jack Circuit and Beatrice Way
Jack Circuit and Beatrice Way are named after Jack and Beatrice Cooney, who were long-time residents of Werribee and actively involved in the community.
Jack was a member of the Werribee District Hospital Appeal Committee prior to the construction of the hospital and became the hospital’s first secretary-manager. He was later made an honorary life governor of the hospital and awarded a British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to the community.
Beatrice was also heavily involved in the community, including the President of the Werribee District Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary and working in the Werribee District Hospital Opportunity shop.
Beasley Loop
Beasley Loop is named after Thomas Beasley, who was a Justice of the Peace and a chief ranger of the Werribee Branch of the Irish National Foresters. In 1936 he organised for 13 houses to be transported from Lara to Werribee, to provide housing for the community. The houses were placed in Cottrell Street and are still standing today.
