Residents are encouraged to help Gannawarra Shire Council name an unnamed Kerang road.
Council received a request for the unnamed road, which connects Kerang-Koondrook Road and Lower Murray Water’s Kerang wastewater treatment facility, to be named White Cedar Lane, recognising the deciduous Australian native that is found throughout eastern Australia.
“As part of Victorian Department of Transport and Planning guidelines, any request to name or rename a road needs to be presented to the community for feedback prior to approval from Council,” Council Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Rollinson said.
“In this instance, the resident seeking a request to name this unnamed road was provided with various options from a predetermined list which was provided through community consultation, with White Cedar Lane the preferred option.
“Naming this road will also eliminate confusion in the community regarding its identification, with some online maps classifying it as Park Road.”
