Woollahra council is located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, from Paddington where the western boundary is located over to Watsons Bay in the north east. Located at Watsons Bay overlooking South Head is HMAS Watson, a large naval base. Many of the homes in Woollahra are on or near the harbour so residential property is expensive and because of its proximity to the CBD retail and commercial property is also expensive. It is an affluent area where much of the population falls into the 'high' socio economic bracket, however there is a cross section of people who call this area home. There are elderly, families, single adults, the disabled, children, teens and many people who have moved here from overseas to work in Sydney in various job roles. Religions are varied and include Judaism, Catholicism, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Church of England and other protestant groups. Several of the private schools in the area are the most expensive in Sydney. Some examples are:-
Ascham
Cranbrook
Kambala
Scots College
Kincoppal
The Liberal Party holds power in both the federal and state seats in this area, and notably the high profile politician Malcolm Turnbull is the member for the federal seat of Wentworth.
Woollahra Library caters for students, children, seniors and other adults. It is located in an old, wooden, two storey building and is not accessible to people in wheelchairs because there is no lift and you need to go down at least one flight of stairs to get to the library from the road.
