About Greenacre

Greenacre is a predominantly Lebanese-Australian suburb in Sydney's south-west, where over 26,000 residents have built a close-knit community centred on family, faith, and tradition. The mosque is a landmark, and the suburb's character is distinctly Middle Eastern. While train access requires travelling to nearby Bankstown, bus connections serve the community adequately.

The shopping strips feature Lebanese bakeries, halal butchers, and Middle Eastern restaurants that draw visitors from across Sydney seeking authentic cuisine. Greenacre Park provides family recreation, and the strong community ties mean neighbours know neighbours. Greenacre attracts extended Lebanese families and Muslim communities seeking to live among their own. It's one of Sydney's most culturally distinct suburbsβ€”an authentic slice of Lebanon in Australia.

Greenacre falls under postcode 2190 and is governed by Canterbury-Bankstown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bankstown electorate.
