North Sydney is a suburb and commercial
district on the Lower North Shore of Sydney,
Australia. North Sydney is located 3 kilometres
north of the Sydney central business district
and is the administrative centre for the local
government area of North Sydney Council.

The commercial district of North Sydney
includes the second largest concentration
of office buildings in New South Wales, with a
large representation from the advertising and
information technology industries.
Advertising, marketing businesses and
associated trades such as printing have
traditionally dominated the business life of the
area though these have been supplanted to a
certain extent by information technology
businesses. Corporations whose offices are in
North Sydney include, Cisco Systems, Novell,
Sun Microsystems, AGL, AAMI, Sophos,
Symantec, Nando's and until October 2007,
Optus.

Unlike other major suburban hubs within the
Sydney metropolitan area, North Sydney has
limited shopping facilities and almost no
Sunday trading. There are three supermarkets
(Aldi, IGA and Coles). The main shopping
complex is the Greenwood Plaza, which is
connected to North Sydney station.
