Dee Why

Dee Why functions as the administrative center for the Northern Beaches Council region, situated 18 kilometers northeast of Sydney central business district.

The area was first documented in 1815 by surveyor James Meehan, leading to land grants obtained by the Jenkins family in the early nineteenth century.

The Northern Beaches region maintains evidence of Aboriginal presence through preserved midden sites and historical fishing locations near Dee Why Lagoon.

The commercial district extends along Pittwater Road, offering multiple shopping centers and frequent B-Line bus connections to Sydney central business district.

Dee Why Lagoon spans 77 hectares as a designated wildlife refuge since 1973, providing essential habitat for local and migratory bird species.
