The Geelong Advertiser today (25 July 2012) in an article entitled: "Line in sand drawn on boundaries", by Peter Begg, reports that:
"City Hall plans for a possible realignment of the boundaries between Drysdale, Clifton Springs and Curlewis are headed back to the drawing board after residents' concerns.
Ward councillor Rod Macdonald said concerns were raised at a public meeting two weeks ago about an area that would have switched from Drysdale to Clifton Springs...
In the area in question, part of Drysdale north of Wyndham St between Jetty Rd and Barrands Land, was to have become Clifton Springs. but residents wanted to remain part of Drysdale...
The State Registrar of Geographic Names called on the council to proceed with a boundary realignment between Drysdale and Clifton Springs, west of the Geelong-Portarlington Road.
The council has told the State Registrar that any changes to boundaries should account for significant urban growth in the localities and advised that a realignment should include a review of the boundaries between
Curlewis, Clifton Springs and Drysdale...
The council has emphasised throughout the process that no decisions will be made on the proposed realignment until investigations and thorough community engagement have been completed."
