About Sydney
Sydney CBD is Australia's global city centre, where over 16,000 residents live amid iconic landmarks, world-class dining, and constant urban energy. The harbour, Opera House, and Harbour Bridge define one of Earth's most recognisable cityscapes. For residents, it means walking to work, accessing any amenity, and living in the heart of Australian urban life.
The shopping, dining, and entertainment options are endless—from Pitt Street Mall to hidden laneways, harbourside restaurants to Chinatown. The Botanic Gardens and Domain provide surprising green relief. Sydney CBD attracts professionals who value time over space, international arrivals wanting full immersion, and anyone who wants Australia's most urban lifestyle. It's not for everyone—but for city lovers, it's incomparable.
Sydney falls under postcode 2000 and is governed by Sydney Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Sydney electorate.
