Since 1984, federal electoral division boundaries in Australia have been determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by the Australian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state are malapportioned.

History

The division was created in 1969 and is named for the area of Berowra. Its boundaries have changed little since it was created and includes the northern parts of the Greater Sydney area in the Hornsby Shire and part of the Hills Shire.
The seat has historically been viewed as a safe seat for the Liberal Party, but became slightly more marginal in 2022. In 2025, the seat became extremely marginal, held on a 1-point margin. The seat is currently held by Liberal Julian Leeser.
