Neutral Bay is a vibrant suburb located on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, approximately 1.5kms north of Sydney's CBD. The name "Neutral Bay" dates back to the early colonial period when it served as a docking point for foreign vessels, thus earning its designation as a "neutral" harbour.

The area is known as 'Wirra-birra' in the Aboriginal language. In 1789, Governor Arthur Phillip declared Neutral Bay a neutral harbour for foreign ships to anchor and replenish supplies, keeping them at a safe distance from the main settlement to deter convicts and potential enemy vessels.

The main shopping district, Neutral Bay Junction, is situated along Military Road, which runs through Neutral Bay, Cremorne, and Mosman. This bustling area features a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and cafes, including the Big Bear shopping centre, which houses a supermarket and various grocery outlets.

A local landmark, the Oaks Hotel, has been a popular meeting spot since 1885, offering multiple dining options, bars, function rooms, and a beer garden centered around a historic oak tree.

The Neutral Bay wharf, located at the end of Hayes Street, is accessible by public ferry services and private ferries.The Warringah Freeway runs along the western border, providing convenient links to Sydney CBD and Chatswood.

Neutral Bay combines historical significance with modern amenities, making it a desirable location for residents and visitors alike.
