About Brookvale
Brookvale is a diverse and evolving suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches, located approximately 16 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD within the Northern Beaches Council area. With a population of around 3,389 and a median age of 37, the suburb has a vibrant mix of young professionals, creative workers, and established families. Median household income exceeds $2,100 per week, and with both a Coles and Woolworths on its main retail corridor, Brookvale serves as a key commercial hub for the broader Northern Beaches region.
Brookvale is perhaps best known for Warringah Mall, one of Sydney's largest regional shopping centres, as well as a growing craft beer and hospitality scene centred around its light industrial areas. The suburb is well-connected to the Sydney CBD via the B-Line express bus service, and Manly's ferry wharf is just a short drive away. With a highly multicultural community drawing residents from the Philippines, Italy, China, Brazil, and beyond, Brookvale has a cosmopolitan energy that sets it apart from quieter Northern Beaches suburbs.
Brookvale falls under postcode 2100 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wakehurst electorate.
