Northern Beaches Council plans to celebrate its 10 year anniversary by removing all the old Manly Council signs by May 2026.

It is possible that we will see these new signs installed in May 2026 when the Northern Beaches Council celebrates its 10 Anniversary. Yes, it has been a long 10 years as the three former councils have slowly but surely been erased from the community’s collective memory. Apart from ‘harmonising’ rates, policies, planning processes, LEPs, parking permits, fees and charges and more, the staff have also been working hard auditing all the signs across the entire LGA. They intend to replace all the former Councils’ signs, including wayfinding and directional signs on walking tracks, footpaths, suburb boundaries, interpretation signs at special locations, building entries and more. A unique way to unite the community. This project is huge and complex. Each of the former three Councils had their own signage protocols, and there are thousands of different signs, including signs in the new NB Council livery, along with other levels of government and departments also installing their signs in many locations.
