Commercial Area

Berowra is largely residential with a small retail precinct lining the Pacific Highway near the train station. In May 2007 a new shopping complex opened in Berowra. Leading up to the opening, the Berowra & District Community raised over $750,000 in BSX listed shares to buy a franchise of the Bendigo Bank. The Community Bank became one of the first to open its doors in the new complex. The locally owned company that bought the franchise, made up of voluntary directors, distributes 80% of the profits generated back to the community by way of grants. This was a landmark development for the future prospects of the area as the last Bank in the area closed its doors in 1996. The centre has a large Coles supermarket, Michel's Patisserie, a butcher, a fruit and veg, a newsagency, a womens boutique, a Thai restaurant, a chicken shop and Bakers Delight.

European Settlement

One of the early land grants in the Berowra area was to John Crumpton in 1867. George Collingridge was granted 88 acres in 1880 and played a part in having the Northern railway line extended, so that a station was opened at Berowra in 1887. He also supported the building of a post office in 1900 and a road to Berowra Waters which opened in 1902. Mary Wall was granted 60 acres of land near Goodwyn Road off the Pacific Highway in 1887. Part of her grant meant she had to be there once a week and so she would walk at night through the bush from Surry Hills and tend to her farm. The Northern Line is part of the metropolitan rail network in Sydney known as CityRail, running between North Sydney and Hornsby via Strathfield and Central. ... Surry Hills, Shopping Village St Peters Catholic Church Central railway station clock tower Surry Hills is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state New South Wales, Australia. ...

The area grew when the Pacific Highway and railway were built and fettlers loved the fishing and bush surrounds. Mainly living in tents, the original settlers lived a tough existence and helped everyone. The first school was set up in Mary Wall's house before it was moved to what is now the Old District Hall at the roundabout, on the corner of Berowra Waters Road and Crowley Road.

Schools

Berowra has two public primary schools (Berowra Public and Wideview Public), plus St Bernards (a Catholic primary school), and Berowra Christian Community School (years K-6)
