The Division of Berowra is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1969 and is named for the suburb of Berowra. Its boundaries have changed little since it was created, and it includes the all or parts of the suburbs of Arcadia, Berowra, Brooklyn, Cheltenham, Cherrybrook, Cowan, Dangar Island, Galston, Glenorie, Maroota, Hornsby and Pennant Hills. It has always been a safe seat for the Liberal Party. Its current member, Philip Ruddock, is the longest-serving member of the House (he was previously member for Parramatta and Dundas).
