About Chipping Norton

Chipping Norton is a family-oriented suburb located 27 kilometres southwest of Sydney's CBD in the Liverpool local government area. With a population of over 9,400 residents, it takes its name from the English village in Oxfordshire, bestowed by early settler William Alexander Long. The suburb is defined by the picturesque Chipping Norton Lake, a rehabilitated former mining site now serving as the area's recreational centrepiece.

The suburb offers a relaxed lakeside lifestyle with excellent parks, walkways, and barbecue facilities along the lake foreshore. The population is notably multicultural, with significant Lebanese, Vietnamese, Italian, and Greek communities contributing to a diverse character. Local amenities include four schools, shopping on Newbridge Road, and easy access to Liverpool's major retail and commercial hub. Chipping Norton attracts families seeking a quieter alternative to inner-city living while maintaining good transport links.

Chipping Norton falls under postcode 2170 and is governed by Liverpool Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Holsworthy electorate.
