About Waverley

Waverley is a diverse area which has become increasingly popular to visitors and those who wish to make their home here. It shares many features with Sydney and particularly with other parts of the Inner and Eastern Sydney areas.

However, there are also significant differences which highlight Waverley's distinctive character, including high density living; young families with high proportion of working mothers; an ageing population; a large number of single person and group households; an influx of visitors and temporary residents; and the cost of living.

All of these characteristics present potential challenges to a healthy, harmonious and sustainable community which will have particular planning implications for Council over the coming years.
