About Raby

Raby is a suburban locality within the City of Campbelltown in Sydney's outer south-west, approximately 47 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. With a population of 5,943 and a median age of 36, the suburb is home to predominantly established families, reflected in an average household size of 3 persons and a median weekly household income of $1,907. Covering 2.7 square kilometres, Raby is a compact, mostly privately-owned residential suburb with very low levels of social housing.

Raby forms part of the Raby–St Andrews–Kearns urban area and benefits from proximity to Campbelltown's commercial centre, Campbelltown Hospital, and Macarthur Square, one of Sydney's largest regional shopping centres. Campbelltown and Leumeah railway stations on the T8 Airport and South line provide direct access to the Sydney CBD and inner west. Within the suburb's boundaries lies Varroville, a State heritage-listed property, adding historical interest to what is otherwise a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood.

Raby falls under postcode 2566 and is governed by Campbelltown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Leppington electorate.
