About Chatswood

Chatswood is the North Shore's urban powerhouse, a high-rise commercial centre where over 25,000 residents live amid excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options. As the interchange between the North Shore Line and Metro, transport connectivity is outstanding—you can reach the CBD in under 20 minutes. The skyline bristles with apartment towers, making this one of Sydney's most urbanised suburban centres.

Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase deliver premium shopping, while the surrounding streets host Sydney's best Chinese and Japanese dining outside the city. The Concourse provides cultural entertainment, and the library is exceptional. Chatswood attracts young professionals, students, and Asian-Australian families who want urban convenience without living in the CBD. It's the North Shore's answer to Parramatta—ambitious, diverse, and growing.

Chatswood falls under postcode 2067 and is governed by Willoughby Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Willoughby electorate.
