By what process was the suburb of Cremorne created? Everyone I know still calls it Richmond - Is it really a seperate suburb? Can this be added to the article? --Commking 00:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Cremorne was officially recognised as a suburb in 1999 as part of a review of place names. For convenience it is often called Richmond as no-one knows what you are talking about when you say Cremorne, or they think its in Sydney. But it is a distinct suburb not a locality.

I'm still not clear by what process or authority this was done - who renames suburbs, anyway? --Commking 07:47, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

They are registered by the Registrar of Geographic Names - part of the Department of Sustainability and Environment. You can visit it here. [1] Andypasto 08:23, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Excellent - thank you. I work in Cremorne, but all our letterheads still say Richmond. Everyone here has no idea that the suburb of Cremorne even exists... --Commking 22:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Its interesting to note that Cremorne shares its Australia Post postcode with Richmond: 3121 covers Richmond East, North, South and Cremorne.Pauken 07:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
