Consultation has concluded
Georges River Council is pleased to announce that the 2020 Historical Markers Program is now open for applications!
This initiative, launched in 2018, highlights and recognises people and places of historical and cultural importance, as recommended by the local community. Members of the community are encouraged to nominate a site or person of historical significance to the Georges River area.
LINKING PEOPLE OF THE PAST WITH SITES OF THE PRESENT
The Georges River Local Government Area (LGA) is an important commercial, transport, environmental, medical and educational district with numerous sites of natural and cultural history and heritage and local historical significance.
A historical markers program, as guided by Georges River Council and the local community, looks to:
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 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

Love the idea of this but can't help but feel that some markers are maybe not really all that necessary e.g. the one about the cinema in Railway parade Mortdale, the money could be better spent or saved altogether ,is there anything to commemorate the site of Judds Brickworks , have you a Map of all the current and proposed markers , it would make an interesting Tourist drive/walk
