We are working with Mr Green and his family on development of a plaque.

We proposed to name the viewing area above the South Curl Curl Rockpool on Carrington Parade, Curl Curl after Mr Brian Green, in recognition of his service and commitment to the community and local government throughout his tenure within Warringah Council. He is a lifelong resident of the Northern Beaches and played an integral role in the initiation and delivery of projects and programs that were of benefit to our community.

The location of the lookout is fitting as Mr Green and his family lived in the area for many years.

Brian Green was awarded the Paul Harris Rotary International Fellow in 1995 and a 50-year long service award for service to the Australian Surf Lifesaving Association by Freshwater SLSC. In 2001, he was awarded a Centenary Medal for service as a former mayor and for active services to the community and local government. In 2002, Mr Green was awarded the title of ‘Emeritus Mayor’.

The naming application made by Mr Green's family also requested a plaque be installed at the location to further acknowledge his contributions.

This proposal is considered to be aligned with the Naming our Reserves, Facilities and Roads Policy.
