The local government area extends from the Parramatta River to the Lane Cove River which encircles the area in the north, and is bounded in the east by the peninsula of Hunter's Hill and the city of Parramatta in the west.

There are 12 Councillors that constitute the Council. Those Councillors are elected for 4 year terms. The last election was held in March 2004. The next election will be held in September 2008.
