Naming Proposal Yumbayumba Park, Kirrawee

Consultation period: 21 February to 8 April 2022

We are excited to let you know that work on the new community park at Oak Road, Kirrawee will start in the coming months.

Following community consultation on the concept design for the new park in March/ April last year, we also asked for feedback on potential names for the park. We received strong support for an Indigenous name.

The name 'Yumbayumba Park' has been proposed, in consultation with key stakeholders. Yumbayumba means Sulphur Crested or White Cockatoo in Dharawal language — reflecting local fauna in the Kirrawee area.

Have your say

We are seeking your feedback on the name for the new park at Kirrawee.

Feedback can be provided until 8 April 2022:

• Online by taking the survey below
• In writing to Open Space Assets, Sutherland Shire Council, Locked Bag 17, Sutherland 1499.

Next steps

Council will consider community feedback and, if agreed to adopt the name, results of this consultation will be submitted to the Geographical Names Board (GNB). The GNB will then publicly exhibit and approve the name.

Work on the park is due to start in April 2022 and be completed by late 2022 when the park will be open to the community.
