Twink conducted many years of on-ground bush regeneration work, in particular at Marriott Park and such was her determination to make a difference she was still working on the reserve in 2013. The Friends Group continues to undertake work on this reserve and it was Twink who encouraged neighbours to join as members of the Friends Group. The Landgate requirements for naming a reserve after a deceased person requires for that person to be deceased for at least two years. This has now been the case. Also Landgate will consider nicknames in reserve titles but not an elongated name such as Monica Twink Smurthwaite Reserve, instead it would consider Twink Smurthwaite Reserve. Council is requested to consider supporting a name change from Marriott Park to Twink Smurthwaite Reserve in honour of an exceptional local community member who worked tirelessly for the local environment as evidenced by Helena River Catchment Group, the Eastern Hills Branch of the WA Wildflower Society and her nephew Andrew Tyndall.
