Thanks for the input today. It is obvious I wanted to have a bleat.

Surely there has to be some solution

Melbourne IT refuses to register this name because the name may be 
misrepresented

I am not sure but from conversations with council, the population of this 
locality is less than 10 people.

I do not expect the Council Employees to authorise the use of the name but 
this use of the name should be ratified at a council meeting of duly 
elected members from the community. This request should be accompanied with 
statutory declaration or the like placing the onus on the applicant not to 
misrepresent the name. The onus would be on the council in question to 
notify residents and take submissions of objections.

The applicant should have the right to commence the registration process 
and if refused, nobody should ever be allowed to use that name.

Further the applicant should only be able to register in the cases of .com 
and . net .au if their business has been in operation for a certain period 
of time. (Stopping the use of the business name registration. Short term)

I can understand the use of major place names but "a paddock" near 
Tamworth??

I am not a lawyer but there has to be a simple way around this over 
protective area.
