Council Proposes Stan Marsh Honour with Norman Park Pavilion Name

Council is considering naming the pavilion in Norman Park, Gordonvale, in honour of the late Stan Marsh.

Community feedback is now being sought on the proposal.

Division 1 Councillor Brett Moller described Stan as a highly esteemed and devoted community member.

"Council was recently approached about the possibility of honouring Stan, who's legacy is etched in the many roles he played to enhance the Gordonvale community," Cr Moller said.

"He was a dedicated community leader in Gordonvale, serving 24 years on the Mulgrave Shire Council and contributing to various local organisations.

"Stan played pivotal roles in healthcare, emergency services, and community development, most notably as a founding member of the Pyramid Retirement Centre.

"His impact spanned multiple sectors, from youth and elderly care to public service and the local economy."

Cr Moller said there was a historic connection between Stan Marsh and Norman Park.

"I have been told that during his time as a councillor, Stan was instrumental in having a grassy mound constructed at Norman Park, where the pavilion now stands," Cr Moller said.

"It was a place for people to sit and enjoy the activities at the park.

"Given Stan's undeniable impact and service to Gordonvale, and his connection to park itself, this proposal needs to be given appropriate consideration, and it is only right that the community has the opportunity to provide feedback.
