South Curl Curl boardwalk will be renamed ‘Harry Elliffe Way’ in recognition of his work restoring the coastal foreshore and lagoon at Curl Curl.

Council’s proposal to rename the boardwalk, which runs from the car park above South Curl Curl rock pool to the stairs at Lumsdaine Drive opposite Harbord Diggers, was supported overwhelmingly by the community when public feedback to the proposal was sought in September/October.

Mayor Michael Regan said Harry Elliffe was an extraordinary environmental crusader whom the Northern Beaches community can be proud of.

“He dedicated more than 30 years tirelessly maintaining the vegetation adjacent to the boardwalk along Carrington Parade, and working with the Curl Curl Lagoon Friends to restore the lagoon in John Fisher Park back to health.

“The renaming of the South Curl Curl boardwalk, in his honour, recognises and celebrates the significant contribution he made to our local community,” Cr Regan said.
