The '''Northern Beaches''' is a region within [[Northern Sydney]], in the state of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], near the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] coast. This area extends south to the entrance of [[Port Jackson]] (Sydney Harbour), west to [[Middle Harbour]] and north to the entrance of [[Broken Bay]]. The area was formerly inhabited by the Garigal or Caregal people in a region known as Guringai country.<ref>{{cite web|title=Aborigines|url=http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/library/local_history/Pittwaters_past/aborigines|publisher=Pittwater Library|access-date=9 October 2014}}</ref>

[[File:Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse, Palm Beach, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA.jpg|thumb|Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse, Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia]]
The traditional Aboriginal inhabitants of the land now known as the Northern Beaches were the Garigal people of the [[Eora]] nation.
Within a few years of European settlement, the Garigal had mostly disappeared from this area mainly due to an outbreak of smallpox in 1789. Much evidence of their habitation remains especially their rock etchings in [[Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park]] which borders northern beaches's north-western side. The northern beaches region was explored early on in the settlement of Sydney, only a few weeks after the arrival of the [[First Fleet]]. However, it remained a rural area for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries, with only small settlements in the valleys between headlands. While it was geographically close to the city centre, to reach the area over land from Sydney via [[Mona Vale Road]] was a trip of more than {{convert|100|km}}.


Since those days, urban growth proceeded slowly until the 1960s when development accelerated because of improved roads and a general increase in living standards in the regions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/historic-buildings-places/barrenjoey-lighthouse|title = Barrenjoey Lighthouse}}</ref>

In 2016, the Local Government (Council Amalgamations) Proclamation 2016 insisted that the Northern Beaches region councils of Manly, Warringah and Pittwater become the [[Northern Beaches Council]]. This was effective from the 12th of May 2016.<ref>https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/regulations/2016-242.pdf</ref>

In 1906, the Warringah Shire council was formed the NSW Government Gazette, along with 132 other new Shires within New South Wales. It ran roughly from [[Broken Bay]] in the north to [[Manly, New South Wales|Manly]] Lagoon to the south, and by [[Port Jackson|Middle Harbour Creek]] and [[Cowan Creek]] in the west. Pittwater was incorporated as the "A Riding" of Warringah Shire, however for many years there existed a sentiment held by some in A Riding, the northern Riding and the largest in Warringah, taking up more than 40% of Warringah's land area, that they were being increasingly ignored and subject to what they considered inappropriate development and policies for their area.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/library/local_history/pittwater_secession |title=Library-Pittwater Secession |access-date=26 May 2020 |archive-date=22 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722193319/http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/library/local_history/pittwater_secession |url-status=dead }}</ref> This culminated in 1991 when a non-compulsory postal poll of the residents of A Riding was taken over the question of a possible secession. This resulted in a 73.5% vote in favour of secession, however only 48.18% of residents took part in this vote. This vote was, however, 600 short of the total majority required. Over time, the Northern Beaches was often divided by the "Lower Northern Beaches", referring to the southern end of the region, and the "Upper Northern Beaches", referring to the northern end of the region ([[North Narrabeen]] to [[Palm Beach, New South Wales|Palm Beach]]).

The Northern Beaches is a region within Northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, near the Pacific coast. This area extends south to the entrance of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour), west to Middle Harbour and north to the entrance of Broken Bay. The area was formerly inhabited by the Garigal or Caregal people in a region known as Guringai country.[2]

The Northern Beaches district is governed on a local level by the Northern Beaches Council, which was formed in May 2016 from Warringah Council (est. 1906), Manly Council (est. 1877), and Pittwater Council (est. 1992).

History

[edit]
Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse, Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia

The traditional Aboriginal inhabitants of the land now known as the Northern Beaches were the Garigal people of the Eora nation. Within a few years of European settlement, the Garigal had mostly disappeared from this area mainly due to an outbreak of smallpox in 1789. Much evidence of their habitation remains especially their rock etchings in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park which borders northern beaches's north-western side. The northern beaches region was explored early on in the settlement of Sydney, only a few weeks after the arrival of the First Fleet. However, it remained a rural area for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries, with only small settlements in the valleys between headlands. While it was geographically close to the city centre, to reach the area over land from Sydney via Mona Vale Road was a trip of more than 100 kilometres (62 mi).

Since those days, urban growth proceeded slowly until the 1960s when development accelerated because of improved roads and a general increase in living standards in the regions.[3]

In 1906, the Warringah Shire council was formed the NSW Government Gazette, along with 132 other new Shires within New South Wales. It ran roughly from Broken Bay in the north to Manly Lagoon to the south, and by Middle Harbour Creek and Cowan Creek in the west. Pittwater was incorporated as the "A Riding" of Warringah Shire, however for many years there existed a sentiment held by some in A Riding, the northern Riding and the largest in Warringah, taking up more than 40% of Warringah's land area, that they were being increasingly ignored and subject to what they considered inappropriate development and policies for their area.[4] This culminated in 1991 when a non-compulsory postal poll of the residents of A Riding was taken over the question of a possible secession. This resulted in a 73.5% vote in favour of secession, however only 48.18% of residents took part in this vote. This vote was, however, 600 short of the total majority required. Over time, the Northern Beaches was often divided by the "Lower Northern Beaches", referring to the southern end of the region, and the "Upper Northern Beaches", referring to the northern end of the region (North Narrabeen to Palm Beach).

In 2016, the Local Government (Council Amalgamations) Proclamation 2016 insisted that the Northern Beaches region councils of Manly, Warringah and Pittwater become the Northern Beaches Council. This was effective from 12 May 2016.[5]

Today, the Northern Beaches is very well part of the Sydney metropolis, however maintains an isolated environment from the other regions of Sydney including the neighbouring North Shore region. The "Forest District" became an unofficial district within the Northern Beaches region to describe the suburbs between Ingleside and the Upper North Shore.
