Northern Beaches Council has endorsed the proposal to name the Reserve at 3 Boondah Road, Warriewood as Ronda Alterator Reserve.

Naming this very popular area the Ronda Alterator Reserve honours the dedication, contribution and devotion of Ronda Alterator (OAM) towards netball and our local community over many years.

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the naming of the reserve is a tribute to Mrs Alterator.

“It is a fitting accolade to her unwavering commitment over many years to promoting and encouraging sporting participation and excellence and to building community spirit.

“Mrs Alterator dedicated over 42 years to Narrabeen Youth Club Netball including 9 years as the director. She also volunteered as president, vice president, coach, coordinator and umpires’ convener over those years. She was deservedly honoured with a life membership.

In 2020, Mrs Alterator was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for service to netball.

“Council is proud to the acknowledge the legacy of Ronda Alterator OAM by naming the Boondah Road Reserve in her honour,” said Mayor Heins.

Mrs Alterator’s contributions to netball were recognised with multiple awards over the years. Her community service was not just limited to netball. She volunteered on various local P&Cs raising much needed funds for local schools as well as being involved in senior citizen programs.

Mrs Alterator passed away on 10 April 2024.

Council will now seek the approval of the Geographical Names Board of NSW for the new reserve name. Once approved new signs will be installed and a naming ceremony held in the Reserve with Ronda’s family and friends and the Narrabeen Youth Club Netball.
