covers the northern end of Wollongong City Council, running east of the
Illawarra escarpment from Helensburgh in the north to Warrawong in the south.
Traditionally a working class electorate dominated by coal mining and the
steel industry, the northern end of the Illawarra has changed in recent
years, increasingly filled with more affluent residents who commute to Sydney
for work but enjoy spending their home time closer to nature in the northern
Illawarra. The electorate covers 519 square kilometres, though much of the
electorate’s area takes in the catchment area for Sydney’s southern water
supply.
