BERNINNEIT … get used to saying and hearing it because we’re going to be using it a lot.
Following a public vote, Berninneit (pronounced burn-eh-neet and meaning “gather together”) has been endorsed as the First Nations name for the new Cowes cultural centre which is scheduled to open late this year.
The council will now submit the name to the State Government’s Registrar of Geographic Names for consideration and inclusion in Vicnames.
