Key focal points for the Sydney North Region
- Transport Infrastructure – public transport usage varies across the region. There is strong use and good service in the bulk of the North area. However, there is poor service and low usage in the north-east, around the northern beaches, and in the west of the region, around Macquarie Park.
- To develop and connect with the Local Chambers of Commerce in our area.
- To work with the key industry sectors in the region, including:
- Technical, Scientific and Professional Services
- Healthcare and Social Assistance
- Financial and Insurance Services.
Sydney North Fast Facts
-
800,000 people live in the Sydney North region.
-
The region includes 11 Local Government Areas (Hunters Hill, Lane Cove, Mosman, Ryde, Willoughby, North Sydney, Hornsby, Ku-Ring-Gai, Manly, Warringah, Pittwater)
-
Most of the employment growth over the next few decades will take place in the Macquarie Park are and Frenchs Forest/Terry Hills area. These will be supported by continued strong employment in the established areas of North Sydney, Chatswood and St Leonards.
- The Sydney North region employs many residents that live outside the region – making inter-regional transport critical to the Sydney North’s economic viability. 46% of jobs in the North subregion are held by non-residents and 60% of jobs in Inner North are held by non-residents.
Northern Sydney Region NSW Business Chamber has signed a pledge with Defence Reserves Support to become a Supportive Employer of Reservists and to help promote the advantages to local employers of employing members of the Defence Reserves.
Defence Reserves Support (DRS) provides a link between the Australian Defence Force (ADF), employers and the community from which the Reserve force is drawn. DRS aims to enhance the availability of the Reserve component of the ADF by promoting the benefits of employing members of the Reserve. DRS also aims to establish a flexible partnership with the community and employers so they are encouraged to support those in the Reserve.
DRS specialists in each State and Territory can help eligible employers of Reservists apply for substantial financial support payments, develop supportive leave policies, participate in the Employer Engagement Program and utilise the unique skills and qualities that only a Defence Reservist can bring to their workplace or business.
Benefits to local businesses of employing Defence Reservists:
- Employees gain formal qualifications through Reserve service at no cost to employer;
- Reserve training includes leadership, management and teamwork skills that are expected of managers and executives;
- Reservists develop a number of personal skills that are attractive to all employers including self-discipline, initiative, punctuality, self-reliance and responsibility;
- A cost-effective form of community-based and supported national defence
- Training assistance to the community in times of natural disaster such as bushfires and floods. They are vital in helping local communities including businesses get back on their feet in times of difficulty.
We encourage local employers to take the opportunity to visit the website and see what advantages could be brought to their business by employing and supporting Defence. For further details please visit
