According to News Local, a plan to divide and conquer Warringah and include Mosman in a mega Manly Council is set to be discussed by Manly councillors.
Dubbed “Mosmanly” by Mosman mayor Peter Abelson, the mythical municipality would extend from Taronga Zoo to Curl Curl. Warringah Council would be dissolved, while Pittwater Council would control the peninsula’s north.
Manly mayor Jean Hay, who will put the idea to councillors, said the name might need some work “as we know Manly gathers no moss,” but that councils must consider mergers or face being frozen out of state and federal government funds.
Peter Abelson is quoted 'Council would prefer to remain independent but is under pressure to merge with North Sydney. Cr Abelson said a merger with Manly would be a “better fit” as both areas are residential.'
Really, you must still be joking!
Cremorne is at the border of Mosman Council and North Sydney Council. It is a five minute bike ride from Mosman Council Chambers. Mosman is separated from Manly by water in the form of Middle Harbour and the ever congested Spit Bridge.
