| About Company | Warringah Council was established in 1906 and administers an area of 152 square km on Sydney’s northern beaches. Warringah was originally the home of the Guring-gai people and is now home to around 140,000 residents and ratepayers. Warringah’s Indigenous name means 'sign of rain', 'across the waves' and 'sea'. Our bush and beach environment stretches between Manly in the south, Pittwater in the north and inland to the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Our 14 kilometres of coastline includes nine beaches and the Warringah area covers close to 6,000 hectares of natural bushland and open space with many features of cultural and heritage significance including hundreds of Aboriginal significant sites. We are home to the Manly Dam, lagoons in Narrabeen, Dee Why and Curl Curl, Stony Range Botanic Garden and 75 threatened native plant and animal species. Warringah Council owns and manages the Glen Street Theatre, Warringah Aquatic Centre and is a partner in the Kimbriki Waste and Recycling Centre with Mosman, Pittwater and Manly Councils. Warringah Council owns and manages 24 community centres and several childcare centres as well as four libraries at Belrose, Dee Why, Forestville and Warringah Mall. |
