The children of Ron and Milly Isbel respectfully request that the currently unnamed laneway between Phillips Street and Gladstone Street in Beulah be named “Isbel Lane.” This request honours their parents, who were dedicated members of the Beulah community.
Ron served as the town's postmaster from 1963 to 2002, playing a vital role in local postal services. Milly worked alongside him, first as a telephonist and later as the town's mail delivery person.
Beyond their professional roles, Ron and Milly actively contributed to various community organisations, including the Beulah Football Club, Lions Club, Youth Club, church groups, and multiple committees. Their involvement left a lasting positive impact on Beulah. The old Beulah Post Office, a local landmark, stands beside this laneway, symbolising their decades of service.
At the February 26 Council meeting, councillors adopted the recommendation and start due process, in accordance with the Geographic Place Name Act 1998, Naming rules for places in Victoria guidelines to name the unnamed laneway 04 in Council’s Road register, as “Isbel Lane.”
Residents are now asked for the feedback in relation to the proposed naming of Isbel Lane, Beulah. Feedback closes at 5pm on Thursday 24th April 2025.
