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.

If you didn't return the survey because you thought that not doing so would count as a no vote, please state this.
