Location Demographics

Near the Botany Bayside, the lovely suburb of Kogarah is part of the thriving St George Area and is known for having numerous healthcare facilities and local amenities. It is located around 18kms south-west from Sydney’s Central Business District and originally included Beverley Park before forming into separate suburbs. In the past, the district was used for providing fruit, vegetables and oysters and it has now developed into a progressive commercial hub. The Toomevara Lane Chinese Market Gardens is a heritage-listed site within the town. 

With tree-lined streets and a waterside location, plenty of interested residents have become part of the Kogarah community, particularly established families, students and professionals. From the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the present population is said to reach more than 16 400 people and close to 4 300 families. The 2021 Census has found most residents belonging to the 30 to 35-year-old age group and the median age to be 35 years old. There are over 7 200 private dwellings with properties estimated to increase in the years to come.

Both the NSW Government and the Bayside City Council are looking forward to delivering the M6 Stage 1 Project which involves connecting Kogarah to the M8 motorway.

A part of Kogarah also belongs to the Georges River City Council and they are taking on the Kogarah to Parramatta River Rail project. This will aim to support job growth, productivity and economic and social welfare by investing in a 24km rail link that directly connects to Sydney’s major centres.
