Currently the North Sydney electorate extends from the western edge of Neutral Bay to the eastern edge of Gladesville and from the Harbour to Chatswood. It includes major business centres like North Sydney and Chatswood, and is the base for over 20,000 small businesses.

North Sydney is a culturally vibrant part of Sydney and almost one third of residents were born overseas.

Relative to other parts of NSW, the electorate is also distinguished by having among the highest proportion of residents holding university qualifications and women in the workforce (almost 50% of women). Unemployment levels in North Sydney are among the lowest in Australia.

Despite being so close to the centre of Sydney, residents enjoy the benefits of many wonderful local parks and recreational areas, bushland and heritage precincts and, of course, Sydney’s beautiful Harbour foreshores. A strong community spirit typifies the area and local residents benefit from the work of hundreds of volunteer services – ranging from Meals on Wheels to resettlement services for new migrants.
