Merri-bek will be used as the replacement name for the City of Moreland from September 26.
Mayor Mark Riley responds to criticism about the process involved in choosing a new name for Moreland.
Over half of community choose the word for ‘rocky country’ as Moreland’s new name.
Council expects to finalise renaming of the city by July following community vote.
The future name of Moreland will be drawn from local Indigenous language.
Renaming Moreland is the right decision, and the council should not be afraid of debate about the issue.
