About North Turramurra
North Turramurra is a spacious, leafy suburb on Sydney's Upper North Shore, located approximately 23 kilometres north of the CBD within the Ku-ring-gai local government area. Covering over 11 square kilometres of elevated bushland terrain at around 169 metres above sea level, it is home to 4,194 residents with a notably mature demographic — a median age of 56 reflecting an established community of retirees and long-term families. Median household incomes and property values sit well above the national average, underscoring the suburb's prestige within Greater Sydney.
Residents enjoy a tranquil, bush-surrounded lifestyle with access to Ku-ring-gai National Park and the historic Waratah Park, once used as the filming location for the beloved Australian TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. The local Woolworths on Bobbin Head Road provides day-to-day convenience, while Turramurra village — with its shops, cafes, and services — is a short drive south. Train services from Turramurra Station on the T1 North Shore Line connect residents to the city, and the suburb's generous block sizes, quiet streets, and bushland setting make it one of Sydney's most sought-after leafy retreats.
North Turramurra falls under postcode 2074 and is governed by Ku-ring-gai Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Davidson electorate.
