Have your say on proposed name for Garfield reserve
Cardinia Shire Council invites community feedback on a proposal to name a Garfield reserve in honour of a local volunteer.
Residents can now have their say on a proposal to name a reserve in Garfield as a tribute to the late Lesley Harvey, a respected local volunteer who made significant contributions to the community during the 1990s.
Council received a request from Lesley’s family and the Garfield Community Association to commemoratively name Greenland Court Reserve, located on the corner of Greenland Court and Archer Road, as Lesley Harvey Reserve.
Lesley played an important role in the development of the reserve as a neighbourhood play space, working closely with Council and community members to improve the area for local families.
She was involved in a range of community projects and organisations, including serving on the Garfield Kindergarten committee, contributing to the Garfield Progress Association and the establishment of the Community Bank, founding and leading the Garfield Safety House Committee, and supporting the Garfield football and netball clubs, to name a few.
The community engagement process will gauge community support for the proposed name. Following the consultation period, Council will consider community feedback before making a decision. Any proposed name change is also subject to approval by Geographic Names Victoria.
Submissions are invited until 2 April. Head to Creating Cardinia to have your say: Have Your Say on proposed naming of Greenland Court Reserve, Garfield | Creating Cardinia
