The village of Karuah is also split between the two councils with almost all of the village located in Port Stephens Council. The Karuah River, which runs approximately north to south through the centre of Karuah, forms the border between the two councils within the locality. Karuah is located at the north-western corner of Port Stephens into which the Karuah River feeds.[7][9] DemographicsThe largest settlement within the locality is the village of Karuah, which is on the old Pacific Highway and straddles the Karuah River. Most of the village, which occupies only about {{Convert|0.7|km2|sqmi|1}} of the suburb's total area of {{Convert|74.7|km2|sqmi|1|abbr=on}}, lies within the Port Stephens LGA. It includes the largest Aboriginal community in the Port Stephens LGA and, at the 2006 Census, had a population of approximately 857.[11] The rest of the suburb's population live in the rural properties which surround the village. The Karuah bridge was built and opened in December 1957.[12] In 2004, the Karuah Bypass was opened which, as part of the AusLink program, speeds up car and truck travel times past the township but left the town a backwater. Karuah village has long been known for its oysters,[13] and a number of oyster shops line the old Pacific Highway within the town.
