About Cheero Point

Cheero Point is a secluded waterfront locality on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 53 kilometres north of Sydney. It sits on the western bank of Mooney Mooney Creek, near where it meets the Hawkesbury River, and is surrounded by Brisbane Water National Park. With a 2021 Census population of around 100 residents and an area of just 0.18 square kilometres, it is one of the smallest and most tightly settled localities in the region. The area falls within the Robertson federal electorate and the Hornsby state electorate.

Cheero Point is a peaceful riverside settlement prized for its natural beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to the Hawkesbury River system. The locality is popular with boating enthusiasts, anglers, and those seeking a quiet escape from Sydney, with national park bushland surrounding the community on most sides. Access is by a single road, reinforcing its secluded character. Given its location within the national park boundary, development is strictly limited, preserving the bush setting that residents treasure. Nearby Gosford and Hornsby provide the closest shopping, schools, and public transport connections.

Cheero Point falls under postcode 2083 and is governed by the Central Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Robertson, while state elections fall under the Hornsby electorate.
