Ku-ring-gai has never been a "shire", it's always been a "council" (see the website, it says "ku-ring-gai council"). the "shire" term is not a generic term that is used consistently for all lga's. some are councils, some are municipalities, some are shires. i think it makes more sense to leave the article at ku-ring-gai as it's mostly likely to get the most hits that way, or at the very least move it to Ku-ring-gai Council, but not ku-ring-gai shire. clarkk 09:18, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- What's wrong with redirects? - Ta bu shi da yu 09:16, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
-
- because it makes serendiptious links more difficult and makes it more likely that we'll have double redirects, and is breaks the naming conventions that articles should be at the most common name (see my post on the sydney wikiproject page). clarkk 13:36, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Shires are for rural council areas.
- Municipalities are for urban council area.
- Thus Ku-ring-gai Municipal Council (KMC).

How did Warrimoo get into the Kuringai Shire? It used to live in the Blue Mountains. Thortful 13:26, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- perhaps there are two warrimoo's, according to the nsw department of local government (who should know), warrimoo is part of ku-ring-gai clarkk 13:35, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- the dlg SHOULD know better than to create two Warrimoos. Thortful 13:59, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- looks like they have: 2075 for the ku-ring-gai one and 2774 is the blue mountains one, bad dlg, bad. clarkk 14:05, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 2075 is post code for St. Ives
2075 is post code for St Ives, St. Ives Chase, etc.
There are no suburbs starting with the letter "W" with the post code 2075.
Warrimoo does not have the postcode 2075.
The DLG must have a typographic error somewhere.
[edit] Warrimoo postcodes
The following postcodes can get easily confused
- Warrimoo 2774
- Warrawee 2074

[edit] Council vs LGA
The LGA is the geographical area; the Council is the administrative body for that area. As such Kur-ring-gai Council is not a LGA, rather Ku-ring-gai Council is the body administrating the Ku-ring-gai LGA.
Either the article should be moved to "Ku-ring-gai" or the content should be changed to reflect that fact that the council administers the area, but is not the name of the area itself.
Pedantic? Yes... but this is an encyclopaedia.

[edit] East Turramurra
I have just created a page on East Turramurra and I was wondering should it be part of the lists of suburbs in Ku-ring-gai council? I put that reference box there but I wasn't sure if it was official enough to be part of it. Ziperingzap 23:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
