I followed the established procedure of submitting the changed airfield name in the metatdata but this was rejected with the comment "Airport name typo. Airport name should be 'Hideaway Bay'." This was NOT a typo, the submission was explicitly a name change "per navigation chart" as well as some corrections to the ramps and boundary.
Wow .. that is rather bad luck because everything Google returned had the spelling as ‘Hideaway’ and it’s perfectly reasonable to assume therefore it was a typo. I have set it back to ‘Accepted’ and noted this has been challenged by the artist. It will likely get approved very soon.

The name of the airfield was officially changed to "Hydeaway Bay" in AIC H64/20
(https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/sup/a20-h64.pdf). The amendment reads "Amend name/aerodrome name to read: HYDEAWAY BAY (YHAB) at 20 06 11.97S 148 26 44.25E (VNCTL, VTCWHI)". This name is listed in the current ERSA book (https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/ersa/LND__25MAR2021.pdf) with this name and is also on the current navigation charts.

Huh, that is interesting - trust those guys down under to spell something wrong - on purpose! 🙂
I will point Julian to this report and review his decision.
Thanks for letting us know!
