The
City of Willoughby is situated on the North Shore of Sydney. It
comprises the suburbs of Chatswood, Artarmon, Naremburn, St Leonards,
Northbridge, Castlecrag, Middle Cove and Castle Cove.It is bordered to
the East by Middle Harbour and to the West by the Lane Cove River.
These waterways and their tributaries have a major impact on the City,
having led to the preservation of several significant areas of remnant
native bushland in some of the most spectacular locations in inner
Sydney.
WEPA originally
started as a community response to the gradual degradation of this
irreplaceable natural heritage. In recent years Willoughby City Council
has become most progressive in looking after the natural environment
and has taken on much of the work previously undertaken by WEPA. Our
members continue to assist Council through cooperative participation in
a range of local initiatives.
