About Kirrawee

Kirrawee sits in the Sutherland Shire about 24 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD, transformed by recent development around its railway station. This suburb of roughly 11,000 residents combines established residential streets with a new town centre development that has brought retail, dining, and apartment living to the area.

The transformation has attracted younger residents to a suburb previously known mainly for practical affordability. The new Kirrawee Village development provides modern amenities, while surrounding streets retain their suburban family character. Good schools and train access make it popular with families. It's emerging from Sutherland's shadow as a destination in its own right.

Kirrawee falls under postcode 2232 and is governed by Sutherland Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Miranda electorate.
