Pioneers Fight Park Name Change in Dorrigo Meeting
Dr. Riding opposed renaming Brelsford Park to Gorrell Park at Dorrigo Shire Council. The Coffs Harbour National Fitness Sports Club proposed the change to honor Jim Gorrell for park work. He suggested honoring with a named stand instead and urged preserving pioneer names in local landmarks. The motion to keep Brelsford Park’s name was carried.
