On 19 March 2025, the Protect Pittwater Committee formally presented our proposal to the Hon. Ron Hoenig, MP, Minister for Local Government. We put forward the case for re-establishing the area formerly known as the Pittwater Local Government Area (LGA), as it existed immediately prior to the forced amalgamation on 12 May 2016, as a separate local government area under section 204 of the Local Government Act 1993.
We have proposed that this area be officially named the “Pittwater Local Government Area.” The proposal has been submitted in accordance with section 215 of the Local Government Act 1993 and is currently under review by the Minister.

We propose that the newly constituted Pittwater Local Government Area be divided into three wards named North Ward, Central Ward and South Ward and that three Councillors be elected from each ward with the Councillors electing the Mayor of the new Pittwater Council.
The three proposed wards will retain substantially the same boundaries as those that existed prior to 12 May 2016, with adjustments made only as necessary under section 210 of the Local Government Act 1993 to ensure that the number of electors in each ward does not differ by more than 10%.
The remainder of the current Northern Beaches Council area would continue to be known as the Northern Beaches area and governed by the Northern Beaches Council without dissolution. This proposal applies solely to the re-establishment of the former Pittwater Council area.
