Watsons Bay, Administrative division in eastern Sydney, Australia.
Watsons Bay functions as a governmental subdivision within the Woollahra Municipal Council, maintaining local services and infrastructure for residents.
The establishment of Watsons Bay as an administrative zone occurred when Woollahra Municipal Council formed in 1860 through a local resident petition.
The area incorporates multiple community venues and exhibition spaces, including the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, which presents rotating art collections.
Residents access municipal services through the council offices, which manage local development applications, waste collection, and community facilities.
The administrative region maintains fifteen elected councillors across five wards, implementing proportional representation for local governance.
