We’re building a vibrant, creative, and sustainable region that connects people, businesses, and culture. By activating public spaces, supporting local artists, and preserving our pristine environment, we offer a unique destination to live, visit, and create – day and night.

Stretching from Palm Beach to Manly, the Northern Beaches is home to pristine coastlines, vibrant communities, and a thriving creative culture. With 24 iconic beaches and 80 kilometres of coastline, our region offers a lifestyle unlike any other.

As the gateway to the Northern Beaches, Manly welcomes over 8 million visitors annually, drawn to its natural beauty, lively town centre, and cultural experiences. Recognised as one of the top beaches in the world, Manly offers endless opportunities in hospitality and dining, contributing significantly to the local economy.

Emerging creative and cultural precincts are also shaping the region. With opportunities in industrial and mixed-use spaces, we’re fostering vibrant hubs that bring together art, industry, microbreweries, and distilleries. Places like Brookvale are evolving into dynamic spaces where creativity meets innovation, offering exciting opportunities for both residents and visitors.

With over 266,000 residents, the Northern Beaches combines a relaxed coastal lifestyle with opportunities for innovation, arts, and sustainable tourism – boasting opportunities both day and night.
