Woodberry is one of the easternmost suburbs of theCity of Maitland in theHunter Region ofNew South Wales,Australia.[2][5] At the2011 census, Woodberry's population was 3,155.[6] Most of the population lives in residential subdivisions while almost 84% of the suburb's land is rural in nature.[5] Rental accommodation is occupied by a third of the residents.[7]
It lies to the west of theHunter River, 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) of which forms the suburb's eastern border, separating it fromHeatherbrae andTomago in thePort Stephenslocal government area. It is connected by road to the adjoining suburbs ofMillers Forest,Beresfield andTarro. Much of Woodberry is low-lying floodplain and when the Hunter River floods, the roads to Millers Forest and Tarro sometimes become impassable. However, the residential area is elevated and access to Beresfield remains available.
The local Fred Harvey Sporting Complex located on Lawson Avenue is the home of theWoodberry Warriors Rugby league, and in the past has also been home to the now defunct Woodberry Athletics Club, cricket, baseball and football (soccer) clubs. The sporting complex was named after Woodberry resident and long serving volunteer groundskeeper, Fred Harvey. Fred prepared and maintained the cricket pitch from the mid 1970's until the late 1990's.
There is a government co-ed primary school called Woodberry Public School on Lawson Avenue in Woodberry.[8]
