Killara

Killara is an administrative division in Ku-ring-gai Council and spreads across a residential landscape with homes interspersed with bushland and community spaces. The area blends private housing zones with green areas and public gathering places for residents.

The name comes from an Aboriginal language and means flowing water, reflecting early settlement in the area during the late 1800s. This connection to water sources was important for choosing the location to develop.

The suburb is a residential community where neighbors connect through local events and recreational activities. Regular gatherings bring residents together and strengthen social bonds throughout the year.

The area has good connections to Sydney's center through the North Shore railway line with regular train services. Killara station serves as the main anchor for commuters and provides easy access to city services.

New housing developments around the station follow specific transport-oriented guidelines that bring apartments closer to public transit. This planning approach gradually reshapes how the neighborhood looks and functions.
