Georges River Council is looking to expand its historical markers as part of a new policy.
The Historical Markers Policy was developed earlier this year and would build on the existing Kogarah Plaques Program.
Under the program historically significant spots in the local area are marked with plaques that detail the history behind them.
It was launched in March 2016 and included the first 10 plaques.
That includes the Kogarah School of Arts, Taren Point Punt and Bald Face Reserve amongst others.
The new draft policy will see up to five new new markers selected each year, one for each ward.
The five selected will then go on public exhibition before being chosen.
Administrator John Rayner, at the June council meeting, endorsed the policy for public exhibition.
The decision has been welcomed by Kogarah Historical Society President Beverley Earnshaw.
‘’I think it’s a fantastic idea,’’ she said.
She already has a few ideas for sites for the new markers.
One is historic sandstone house Sunnyside at Beverley Park.
The home is considered to be one of the oldest houses in the area after being built before 1870.
It was a run-down men's boarding house for many years until Neil Brown started a restoration that spanned 18 years.
Another possible site is the Chinese market garden at Carss Park.
