Waverton Precinct
Information for residents and visitors to access the heart of the suburb
Welcome
Welcome to Waverton’s Precinct Page. It has been set up to give residents and visitors access to the heart of the suburb – its parks, headlands and heritage features, its shops and businesses and community services, and also upcoming events, as well as current issues that are being addressed as part of making Waverton the best suburb in Sydney.
We trust that you will find the site useful and one which, by making it a Favourite, will become part of the utility of the suburb for you.
Kind regards,
Waverton Precinct
As part of our welcome, we wish to acknowledge that Waverton sits on lands occupied by the Cammeraygal people of the Eora nation and we acknowledge their leaders past, present and future.
History
Waverton has been a fashionable suburb since the dreamtime. With its headland, Yerroulbine gradually becoming surrounded by water as the last ice age ended, the local community progressively moved to higher ground and changed from freshwater fishing to saltwater.
Whilst the Cammeraygal people of the Eora nation are no longer here, the land and their impacts on it remain to bear testimony to their occupation. Yerroulbine (or Balls Head as it was named after Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, Master of the first fleet vessel HMS Supply) holds the stories, in caves and middens and rock carvings.
