Othershowever suggested that as ChampionLakes is reflective of a rural andrecreational lifestyle, it should be identifiedseparately.Accordingly, the Councillors voted toretain the current boundaries of ChampionLakes as was, and instead invitedWestfield residents and West Kelmscottresidents to comment on a possible newname for the suburb.City of Armadale Deputy Mayor Jeff Munnsaid that of the 578 submissions received,those residents of Kelmscott betweenRailway Avenue and Westfield Road weregenerally happy with their suburb nameand did not want it changed.“As the West Kelmscott residents werealready happy with their suburb name ofKelmscott and did not support changingthe name or incorporating it into Westfield,Council decided to leave it as it is,” CrMunn said.“However as a majority of the responsesfrom residents in the area currently knownas Westfield agreed to a name change,and the majority felt that it should beCammillo Waters, Council decided tosupport this request.”“As such, Council has agreed to submit thisname to the Geographic Names Committeewhich will make the final decision.”Councillor Linton Reynolds and CrGraham Wallace, who both live in the areasubject to the proposal, declared aninterest in the matter, as is required by theLocal Government Act, and therefore, leftthe Chamber while the debate and voteoccurred.The next South East Metropolitan Regional Council (SEMRC) Meeting will beheld at the City of South Perth Administration Centre, cnr Sandgate St andSouth Tce, South Perth at 6pm on Thursday 21 June 2007.City of ArmadaleCouncil andCommittee MeetingsMay and June meeting cycles are displayedbelow.
