Lavender Bay

Lavender Bay forms a compact administrative area within the North Sydney Council jurisdiction, featuring residential neighborhoods along Sydney Harbour's northern shore.

The administrative precinct received its name from George Lavender, a boatswain who worked on the prison ship Phoenix that anchored in the bay during colonial times.

The area carries dual recognition with its Indigenous name Gooweebahree in Dharug language, acknowledging the traditional lands of the Cammeraygal people of the Eora nation.

The Lavender Bay Precinct conducts monthly meetings at McMahons Point Community Centre, where residents can participate in local governance discussions every last Thursday.

The administrative zone maintains detailed public records of community actions and developments through regular precinct meetings, documenting the area's evolution since 2019.
