Manly West Esplanade Heritage Activation Plan Together we want to explore the heritage of West Esplanade and how we can revitalise the area for the community. Did you know that Manly’s West Esplanade has a rich history spanning thousands of years? Northern Beaches Council has received a Heritage Near Me Activation Grant from the NSW Government Office of Environment and Heritage to develop a Heritage Activation Plan for Manly West Esplanade. The Heritage Activation Plan aims to: • Highlight the history of the area pre and post European settlement • Define opportunities and initiatives for the community to appreciate the heritage of the area • Create opportunities for the community to interact and enjoy heritage items • Investigate the nostalgia of the lost heritage of West Esplanade including the art gallery facade and boardwalk
