Pittwater-side wharf and foreshore precinct
Church Point is a waterfront access point where the wharf and foreshore reserve shape the rhythm of the place.
Life here is oriented to Pittwater and the working practicality of getting to and from the water via the commuter wharf at Church Point, with Thomas Stephens Reserve providing a public waterfront edge.

It is not a place defined by extensive commercial strips or large-scale civic facilities.
