Freshwater

Freshwater is a suburb of Northern Beaches Council, about 12 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. Lawrence Street forms a local commercial centre in a northern beaches setting close to Freshwater Beach. The beach sits between Curl Curl and Queenscliff on the Manly to Curl Curl walk, with the Harbord Beach Hotel and Harbord Diggers as local landmarks.

Freshwater's industrial and distribution precinct is represented by warehouses and factories, with medical or consulting suites also suited to local service uses. The commercial stock is shaped by a coastal village environment rather than a large business district. Manly, Balgowlah and Dee Why are nearby commercial reference points.
