St Ives

St Ives extends across elevated terrain and valleys, bordered by Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and Garigal National Park, 18 kilometers north of Sydney.

Governor Arthur Phillip first explored the area in 1788, establishing a campsite at Bungaroo before the region developed into a center for timber production.

The Village Green functions as a central recreational space where residents participate in various sports activities and attend the annual Festival on the Green.

St Ives Shopping Village contains more than 110 retail establishments, including Harris Farm Markets and Coles, serving the local community's commercial needs.

During World War II, military authorities constructed Archbold Road as an emergency route to Sydney due to the substantial number of troops stationed in the area.
