North Sydney, Electoral division in Lower North Shore, Sydney, Australia.
North Sydney is an electoral division covering the Lower North Shore and includes suburbs such as Artarmon, Cammeray, and Castlecrag. The division encompasses a collection of residential communities north of Sydney's city center.
The division was created in 1901 as one of the original 75 electoral divisions when Australia's parliament began. It remained under conservative representation for more than a century until recent changes.
The electoral division reflects the preferences of high-income families, making it the second wealthiest constituency after Wentworth in Australian parliamentary representation.
The division's boundaries are reviewed regularly to keep population numbers balanced across electoral areas. Residents and visitors can explore different neighborhoods throughout the area, each with its own local character.
In 2022, an independent candidate won the seat, breaking a long pattern of conservative control in this established area. This marked the first time in six decades that the division saw genuine competition between non-major party candidates.
