Do Not Rename Rosebud West to 'Capel Sound'
The issue
On the eleventh of April the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council voted 7-4 to change the name of Rosebud West to 'Capel Sound'.
Councillors Shaw, Dixon, Celi and Colomb objected.
The Council had previously ordered a letter drop costing the community over $15,000.
The Applicant sent out unauthorised campaign material that confused the voting process for residents. Because of this unauthorised campaign material a number of residents were under the impression that not returning the petition counted as a 'no' vote.
5600 letters were sent out.1902 responses were received (33.9%) 1065 of the responses received were in favour of the change (19.02% of the total). Please sign this petition if you are opposed to the name change.Please leave a comment as to why you are opposed.
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
If you live in 3940 and did not receive a survey please state this at the start of your comment.
If you didn't return the survey because you thought that not doing so would count as a no vote, please state this.
If you received a survey and still have it available, please send in a scanned copy of it.
