About Ku-ring-gai Chase
Ku-ring-gai Chase is a small locality on Sydney's northern fringe, largely contained within the boundaries of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in New South Wales. Located approximately 25 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD, it covers around 94 square kilometres of bushland along the Hawkesbury River and Pittwater waterways. With a census population of just 10 residents, the locality consists mostly of protected national parkland with a handful of waterfront hamlets. The terrain features steep wooded valleys, sandstone outcrops, and tidal inlets typical of Sydney's northern plateau.
The area is a renowned recreational and tourist destination, attracting over 2 million visitors annually to its national park for bushwalking, boating, kayaking, and Aboriginal heritage site discovery. Waterfront villages including Cottage Point, Lovett Bay, Great Mackerel Beach, and Bobbin Head are accessible by boat or via winding bush roads. There are no conventional suburban amenities — the nearest shopping and services are in Terrey Hills, Church Point, and Hornsby. Ku-ring-gai Chase appeals to bushland enthusiasts, boaties, and those lucky enough to secure one of the sought-after waterfront retreats.
Ku-ring-gai Chase falls under postcode 2084 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA).
