Nonsensical claims[edit]

"The suburb of Holroyd was created when suburb boundaries had to be defined and Holroyd Council Local Government Area did not have a suburb of the same name and had to create one to satisfy the State Government requirements as carried out by the Geographical Names Board. "

There is NO requirement by the NSW Government nor the Geographical Names Board, that a NSW local council area must have the same name as one of the suburbs or towns included within it.

Pittwater council LGA does not contain any suburb called Pittwater. Warringah Council LGA does not contain any suburb called Warringah. Kuringgai council LGA does not contain any suburb called Kuringgai ( nor Kuringai nor Ku-Ring-Gai either ).

The suburb of Holroyd was created in 1999 as a real-estate marketing exercise.Eregli bob (talk) 05:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GNB does not create suburbs, but rather recognises and attempts to define local community usage. I have seen a Gregory's c 1936 that features Holroyd. Many Sydney suburbs did not have the boundaries defined until the 1990s. It is of course radically false to suggest they weren't created before then.--Jack Upland (talk) 06:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
