Chatswood West Ward is one of four electoral Wards within the City of Willoughby.

Our Ward encompasses the bushland, parks, neighbourhoods and homes from the eastern bank of the Lane Cove River to the blue gum high forest on the Roseville boundary.

Heading east, it covers the suburbs of West Chatswood and Chatswood up to the intersection of Mowbray Road and the busy Pacific Highway.

Across the highway it includes the towers of Chatswood CBD with Archer Street on the north boundary and Mowbray Road on the east.

It’s an area of great diversity in terms of people, homes and businesses.
