We are seeking your feedback on a proposal to officially name the new boardwalk being constructed in Morshead Drive Reserve, Hurstville Grove, as the 'Sharyn Cullis Boardwalk'.


Why we're proposing 'Sharyn Cullis Boardwalk'

Dr. Sharyn Cullis was a passionate environmentalist, educator, and researcher who lived in Oatley from 1985 until her passing in 2022. She made extraordinary contributions to protecting the Georges River and its surrounding environment throughout her life.

The proposed 'Sharyn Cullis Boardwalk' location reflects Dr. Cullis's deep connection to the Georges River area. You can learn more about Dr. Sharyn Cullis and her connection and contributions to the Georges River Area through our Historical Markers web page.


About the location

The boardwalk is currently being rebuilt as part of Council's capital works program. The reserve is located in Hurstville Grove between the east and west sections of Morshead Drive.


The Purpose of Place Naming

Place naming is the formal process of giving an official name to a public space, road, or geographical feature. Names are chosen according to Georges River Council's Place Naming Policy for their connection to the unique history and culture of our area. Names for roads, parks and places must be endorsed by Council and approved by the NSW Geographical Names Board before becoming official. Whereas names for Council buildings and facilities are endorsed and approved by Council.


How our community can be involved

We are currently sharing our naming proposal for the boardwalk for public exhibition. This means we are putting the proposed name out for everyone to see and comment on for a set time. The proposal will be available for comment from 26 September to 26 October.
