Bayside Council has installed the first Historic Markers as part of its inaugural program to recognise local sites of historical significance.
The first five sites to be recognised are Bexley Public School, Botany Public School, the Former Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, Tempe House, and Wilson Farmhouse.
This program is designed to create awareness of historically and culturally important places in our local area.
The historical markers that have been installed at the sites, include a brief description of the site and a QR code to provide visitors with detailed information about the site and its history.
Council's inaugural Historical Marker Program launched in February 2024 to give residents the opportunity to nominate sites of cultural or historical significance.
Nominations were assessed by a panel of local history and heritage specialists.
Mayor Edward McDougall said:
"This is just the start of a program to help recognise and promote the historical and cultural heritage of Bayside," Mayor Edward McDougall said.
