Residents were encouraged during July and August 2024 to help Council select the name of an unnamed Kerang road which connects Kerang-Koondrook Road and Lower Murray Water’s Kerang wastewater treatment facility.
Council sought feedback during June and July 2024 regarding a request for the unnamed road to be named "White Cedar Lane", recognising the deciduous Australian native that is found throughout eastern Australia.
As part of Victorian Department of Transport and Planning guidelines, all submissions were assessed, resulting in a shortlist of names that align with Victorian Department of Transport and Planning guidelines and Council’s Asset Naming policy and procedure, which is applied when selecting, approving or assigning names for roads and streets, reserves, open spaces and facilities within the Gannawarra Shire.
