About Mount Druitt

Mount Druitt is a major centre in Sydney's outer west, where nearly 17,000 residents access comprehensive services despite the suburb's challenging reputation. The T1 Western Line provides CBD connectivity, and Westfield Mt Druitt offers substantial shopping. While socioeconomic challenges exist, the suburb has strong community organisations and genuine neighbourhood spirit.

Beyond Westfield, local services support a diverse, working-class community with significant Aboriginal, Pacific Islander, and multicultural populations. Housing affordability makes homeownership possible for those priced out of inner areas. Mount Druitt attracts working families seeking opportunity, and community workers committed to the area. It's often misunderstood—genuine community exists alongside real challenges.

Mount Druitt falls under postcode 2770 and is governed by Blacktown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mount Druitt electorate.
