There have been speculations of council mergers in the Northern Beaches, including the Lower North Shore.
There's another article released today but this one from last week has more details:

I would ask, how would this impact our club and territory.
If as proposed, Pittwater and Manly divide Warringah Council between them:
1. How would that impact our name if Warringah is dissolved and no longer exist?
2. Will we be the Manly-Pittwater Sea Eagles??
3. How would that impact our club and its history?
4. Will our Football Club be MPRLFC instead of MWRLFC?
5. Our old emblem with the "MW" looked like shoe laces on a football. MP just won't work.
"Mosmanly" name is just awful. If Mosman wants to be part of Northern Beaches, they should just be dissolved and become part of the Northern Beaches' Super council.
Regardless of how this will turn out, I hope we will keep our name as is, no matter what. I don't want us to be re-branded like the Roosters and blurred its history. To me, they are always Eastern Suburbs.
If the councils really had to merge, Warringah mayor Michael Regan's and State government’s preferred option of a single northern beaches council may be the better option. The council should then be called Manly!
