The Oaks Hotel is a well-known and popular venue located on the corner of Military Road and Ben Boyd Road. It has been a popular meeting place in Sydney since 1885. The Oaks Hotel features a number of restaurants, bars, function rooms and a beer garden.
Military Road has been a prominent local electoral issue, due to issues relating to the heavy traffic congestion on the road. Local residents have requested the construction of a tunnel to replace the Spit Bridge.[citation needed] The current solution to the congestion has been to widen the lanes on the Spit Bridge, which local residents have claimed is inadequate. Others have countered that the construction of a tunnel would be a very expensive project.[citation needed]The Warringah Freeway runs along the western border of Neutral Bay, providing links south to the Sydney CBD and north to Chatswood.
There are two operating ferry wharves at Kirribilli, serviced by both public and private ferries. The Neutral Bay wharf sits at the end of Hayes Street and the Kurraba wharf on Kurraba Point can be accesed by Kurraba Road.
The name Neutral Bay, originates from the time of the early colonial period of Australia, where different bays of Sydney harbour where zoned for different incoming vessels. Neutral Bay was where all foreign vessels would dock, hence the name neutral.
