Hartwig wants better name for shire to promote Coast LIVINGSTONE Shire Chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, will strongly sponsor a move to have the shire's name changed now that it is contained within the State Seat of Livingstone. He favours the name Capricorn Coast Shire Council. His reason for the name change is to avoid confusion between the shire's name and the new State seat. "When people are asked where they live they won't be able to adequately describe the area," Cr Hartwig said on Wednesday night. "There will be confusion over what people mean by Livingstone ... the State seat encompasses the shire, but extends beyond it. It has to be changed." Cr Hartwig favours the name Capricorn Coast Shire Council because he says it will put the place on the map. "The question 'where do you live?' and the answer 'the Capricorn Coast' will mean something," he said. "With that name we would become like the Gold Coast ... an identifiable area." Cr Hartwig has been opposed to the name Livingstone Shire since the Cities and Towns Conference held earlier this year and hosted by his council. "Livingstone doesn't mean anything geographically," he said at the time. "Rockhampton City is just that, Rockhampton city, a place on the map. But Livingstone exists only in dusty electoral archives and on electoral maps." He sees the likelihood of opposition to the name change ... especially from the people in divisions three and four. He also expects solid support for the change from tourist industry leaders. "The tourism groups should get behind this name-change move right from this moment," he said. "They'll have a name they can sell ... it says it all. We are on the Tropic of Capricorn so there is a logical reason for the name. "We are the gateway to the tropics ... the place Southerners dream about in Winter. The change of name will help us be identified with those dreams." Cr Hartwig said the name change was not only prompted by the new seat of Livingstone ... "it's been talked over in council before today, but nothing concrete has been done about it." But the name of the new seat goaded him into action on Wednesday. "I'll bring it up in council next week. Perhaps we should ask the school kids and residents what they think? I think council should have a good look at this and possibly put up a prize for the best new name," he said. "But I'll be supporting Capricorn Coast Shire Council ... it has a certain ring to it."
