Bayside residents now have an opportunity to nominate a local historical site, person or event that has cultural or historical importance to be recognised with a distinctive plaque.
Bayside Council’s Historical Marker Program is designed to improve the visibility and awareness of Bayside’s cultural heritage and build a sense of belonging and connectivity in the community.
Under the program, each financial year, Council will fund the production and installation of up to five historical markers at locations nominated by the community.
Community nominations will be assessed by a panel with recommendations submitted to Council for final approval and the winning sites will be announced to coincide with the NSW Heritage Festival in 2024.
Mayor Saravinovski said:
“This program will help recognise and promote the many sites of natural, cultural and historical significance found in Bayside. These historical markers are informative only and they do not imply Council is looking to have them listed as a significant heritage items,” Mayor Bill Saravinovski said
