Cleaning suburbs in LGAs to remove redlinks[edit]

Hi, Can people who know or care about this LGA please have a look at this message and see if they can please help solve any of the redlinks in the "suburbs in this LGA" section of this page? (Usually solution is either to add a stub about the suburb / locality in question, or to remove it from the LGA's list). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who wrote out the list of suburbs? Its North Curl Curl and South Curl Curl not Curl Curl North and Curl Curl South! I dont see any Curl Curl North and Curl Curl South Surf Life Saving Clubs, nor do I see a Curl Curl North Public School. Also, who wrote out things like Dee Why North? Dee Why is the suburb, Dee Why West refers to Cromer, same as "Dee Why Heights" will refer to Narraweena. Whoever wrote out the suburbs has to be a real estate agent ha! 144.139.11.212 03:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, Collaroy beach isnt a suburb. I dont know when collaroy plateau west became a suburb, nor do i know when belrose west, dee why north, dee why beach, frenchs forest east, harbord west, and 'narrabeen peninsula' were seperate suburbs. Wingala is the old name for a part of what is now north curl curl and dee why - the 159 bus service still says wingala but its not actually a 'suburb'. finally, how can a shopping mall be a suburb? the address is Warringah Mall, Brookvale. 144.139.11.212 03:36, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The list came from the Dept of local government, I believe, perhaps it's run by ex-real estate types! :-) List should be valid now, but please double-check. If you're in doubt about something, the people to check with are the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales, using their online search. If the status isn't "suburb", then it's not a suburb, but if it is, then it is. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 01:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Cleaning up: Removed some non-suburbs[edit]

I have removed some non-suburbs from the list of suburbs. Some are also beaches (big thank you to the unknown person who rearranged beaches into a separate section!), but the 3 that are neither suburbs nor beaches I think are:

If there is interest in keeping these, they should probably relisted under a new section (e.g. "Localities", or "Other"). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:31, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You could also list Wingala, New South Wales in the same section. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dismissals[edit]

The dismissals section of the article is a sensitive one, so I'd like to get some consensus before anything more is added or removed. It's my opinion that the dismissals are a part of Warringah's history which should be reported, as it is significant that the council has been dismissed three times. Also, I believe that to simply report the dismissal and to fail to mention the reasons given for dismissal, whether or not it is considered to be correct or well founded reasons is a form of censorship. At the same time, this section should attempt to be unbiased by acknowledging that, for example, the reasons given for the dismissal were the commissioner's views, and also be well referenced. Any thoughts on this? Terovian (talk) 12:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you in regards to how the dismissals should be handled. I am adding a quote from the 2003 dismissal that is criticising the commissioner. That should level it out. Good luck finding info on the 1967,1985 dismissals. There doesn't seem to be any info on them at all. RegardsStravin (talk) 12:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have now sufficiently expanded the sections on 1985 and 1967. They are adequately referenced and do explain what happened. Therefore I have removed the box asking for expansion on these. If you don't agree, please explain here on the talk page and we can address them. Thanks Stravin (talk) 09:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

further Dismissals[edit]

As a former Councillor "dismissed" by the Wran State Government in 1985, I have a personal issue in ensuring that all the facts regarding this event are accurately recorded. It has been disappointing that certain vested interests have persistently avoided and or changed well researched data.

In trying to "fix" this today, I have managed to stuff up somewhat. Does anyone know how to have the following incorporated so that it can't be easily changed?

The following are the facts with references:

The Council was dismissed again in December 1985 by the Neville Wran State Government which followed an allegation of bribery, and of local dissatisfaction with the handling of development applications at Palm Beach and Delmege development at Mona Vale, in the case of the later amid alleged “discrepancies in council planning decisions”.

Warringah was placed under administration for 16 months with Mr Daniel Kelly from the Department of Local Government acting as Administrator from December 1985 until April 1986 and Richard Connolly, former Chairman of the Metropolitan Waste Disposal authority from June 1986 to March 1987.[1] Warringah Council was returned after elections in early 1987 and resulted in 7 Councillors from the previous Council being returned to office, including the Shire President, Ted Jackson.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).


Investigations into bribery allegations against councillors by the NSW Fraud Squad and the Ombudsman did not result in any charges being laid against any councillor or member of staff.

The evidence in this matter shows clearly that Warringah Council was not "Dismissed" in 1985 but was "unfairly and unlawfully dismissed" and that in the interests of the public record and in fairness to the reputations of those involved, the media should refrain from continuing to disparage those reputations by its continual attempts to legitimise a totally discredited and unlawful act.
