About Homebush
Homebush sits at Sydney's geographic centre, about 12 kilometres west of the CBD in the Strathfield council area. This suburb of roughly 11,700 residents has transformed dramatically with high-rise development, while still maintaining pockets of established suburban housing. The name resonates with Olympic memories, though the main venues are actually in neighbouring Homebush Bay.
The suburb attracts a diverse mix of young professionals, students, and families drawn by excellent train connections and relative affordability for its location. DFO Homebush provides outlet shopping, while the nearby Olympic Park precinct offers sporting facilities and parkland. It's a practical choice for those who prioritise central location and transport over suburban charm.
Homebush falls under postcode 2140 and is governed by Strathfield Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Drummoyne electorate.
