Historical Markes Program 2024

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

  • Georges River Council’s Historical Markers Program was launched in 2018 to highlight and recognise people and places of historical and cultural importance, as recommended by the local community.

Applications for the 2023 program are now open.
