  • Fact Sheet 4
    CHATSWOOD CBD Fact Sheet no.4 The Cammeraygal People: The Cammeraygal people of the Guringai nation lived in the Willoughby area until the 1820s and are recorded as being in the northern parts of the Sydney region for approximately 5,800 years. By 1830 there were no Aboriginal people following a traditional lifestyle in the area. Geography: Chatswood is a north shore suburb lying 10 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD. Chatswood CBD is defined by Archer Street in the east, the Pacific Highway in the west, Albert Street to the south and Help Street/ Ferguson Lane in the north. Demographics: In 1865, 400 people lived in the Municipality of North Willoughby and almost all of the land in East Chatswood was owned by a few large landholders. The NSW Statistical Register states that the population of Willoughby comprised 3,921 people in 1890. In 1961 the population of the Municipality had grown to 53,683. Since those days the population of central Chatswood has grown rapidly, especially since the 1980s with the construction of numerous modern apartment blocks. In the 2011 Australian census, the total population of Chatswood was 21,194 people; 10,068 (47%) were male and 11,126 (53%) were female. The number of residents born in Australia was 7,850. Of those born overseas, the most common countries were China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) (2,888), South Korea (1,642), Hong Kong (1,148), England (598), and Taiwan (526). The most common ancestry groups were Chinese (6,645), English (3,723), Australian (3,118), Korean (1,816), and Irish (1,258).

At a local level the NSROC councils have been working diligently with their communities to ensure the Northern Sydney region’s rich environmental heritage is maintained and enhanced. However, despite a significant policy shift by the federal government, much remains to be done to move Australia away from its high dependence on fossil fuels and other non- renewable resources, and to take up sustainable and environmentally appropriate lifestyles. The current financial crisis gripping the world has made the challenge more difficult than ever, as attention and resources may be diverted from addressing climate change towards economic assistance packages designed to stimulate the economy. Now, more that ever, the challenge of global consumerism must be considered within the constraints of a global market drawing on a finite set of resources operating within a closed ecological system.
