Background Information


City of Casey seek to inform the community on the proposed boundary change adjacent to Morison Road in Clyde and Berwick-Cranbourne Road, East Cranbourne. The realignment is required as the current locality boundary does not comply with Geographic Names Victoria’s (GNV) Naming rules for places in Victoria 2022.


The following GNV Naming Principles apply:

  • Section 2 - General Principles Principle (A) – Ensuring public safety – Geographic names and boundaries must not risk public and operational safety for emergency response or cause confusion for transport, communication, and mail services.
  • Section 5 – Localities 5.2.1 – Boundaries 2. If residents and businesses in minor roads are deemed to be part of the same community, it is advisable to place the locality boundary along the back boundary of properties facing the road. 5.7 What should not be done? Locality boundaries must not bisect properties or land

Geographic Names Victoria (GNV) requires community consultation when Council is proposing an alteration to a locality (suburb) boundary. As such, Council will consult with existing residents and land owners directly by mail and the wider Casey community through print and online media channels. You can view GNV's website and further information here.
