Location Demographics

Next to the Woronora River, the welcoming suburb of Sutherland is situated around 31 km south from Sydney’s much-loved Central Business District. It belongs to the Sutherland Shire and is part of the growing Southern Sydney region. In the 1860s, the land was originally filled with timber so one of the first industries in the area was timber cutting. Presently, the place is mostly residential along with a few commercial centres and facilities.

At a spacious location with an abundance of leafy parks, families, retirees and students have eagerly joined the flourishing community. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has estimated close to 12 000 people make up the current population with most falling in between the 30 to 34-year-old age group. According to the 2021 Census, the median age is 37 years old and there are around 3 200 families settled in. Meanwhile, the number of private dwellings has reached over 5 700 properties. 

Travel & Infrastructure

Passengers are conveniently surrounded by public transport services for quicker journeys. Just an easy walk, the Sutherland Railway Station has 3 platforms with trains heading down the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line and the South Coast Line. Buses are also available with a handful of stops on Flora Street and Eton Street. If you are travelling by car, the Princes Highway is instantly accessible and connects to major cities.

Looking to be completed by the end of this year, the Sutherland Shire City Council have taken on the Sutherland Entertainment Centre Upgrade project. The transformation aims to enhance Sutherland’s arts and performance culture while also involving environmental and ecological sustainability initiatives. Some of the key features will include a fully refurbished theatre with tiered seating for over 680 guests, a new flexible teaching and rehearsal space, a larger foyer and stage, roof repairs and more. The new entry forecourt will also incorporate an outdoor event space.
