Setting boundaries

I am writing in response to the article about Cranbourne North residents living in The Eve Estate and The Avenue on Casey estates signing a petition to change their suburb name from Cranbourne North to Narre Warren South that was handed in to the council meeting this week (Petition Is Unlikely To Be A Name Changer, News, 8 May).
These residents bought their land to build a house on knowing that land from Glasscocks to Thompsons Road is in Cranbourne North.
I am a resident of Cascades on Clyde Estate and went to numerous council meetings to get Casey council to make our whole estate Clyde North, not half of it Cranbourne East and the other Clyde North.
We got shot down due to the council including Selandra Rise, Hunt Club, Brindalee, Parks Edge and Livingston Estates to make a new suburb Casey Fields, when all the council had to do was make our whole estate Clyde North and not include all these other estates.
Myself and fellow residents are still not happy with the result when we were told by the planning officer of Casey council Peter Gillieron that a main road was required to make a boundary.
The road is nearly completed, which is Casey Fields Boulevard, that will make our side Clyde North along with Selandra Rise and the other side Hunt Club and Brindalee Estates Cranbourne East.
As Bridget Cook wrote myself and my fellow residents of Cascades on Clyde do hope that the council don’t approve the change for these estates as they are in Cranbourne North and were well aware of it unlike all of us in Cascades on Clyde who were misled when purchasing our blocks that they were sold to us as “Clyde North”.
Selena Jones,
Cranbourne East.
