Linking People of the Past with Sites of the Present

The Georges River Local Government Area (LGA) is an important commercial, transport, and environmental, medical and educational district with numerous sites of natural and cultural history and heritage and local historical significance.

Georges River Council's annual Historical Markers Program was launched in 2018 and guided by Georges River Council and the local community, looks to:

  • Recommend up to five sites for historical markers each year
  • Create awareness of the history, heritage and cultural identity of the Georges River LGA to build a strong sense of identity and belonging in the community.
  • Mark historically important people and places in the local area.
  • Incorporate a historical resource and open-air archive which provides multi-dimensional and ongoing opportunities for community engagement with the local area.
