About Sandy Point
Sandy Point is a small residential suburb in south-western Sydney, situated approximately 28 kilometres from the Sydney CBD within the Sutherland Shire local government area. Covering just 0.4 square kilometres, it is one of the smallest suburbs in the region, bordered by the Georges River and nestled between neighbouring suburbs East Hills, Picnic Point, and Pleasure Point. With a population of around 597 residents, Sandy Point has an intimate, waterside character shaped by its position along the river foreshore.
The suburb's main draw is its proximity to the Georges River, which provides opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the natural bushland setting typical of the Sutherland Shire. Residents are well connected to local amenities in nearby Picnic Point and Padstow, with bus services providing links to Riverwood and East Hills stations for train access to the city. Sandy Point suits families and retirees who value a quiet, leafy environment close to the water while remaining within reasonable reach of Sydney's broader amenities.
Sandy Point falls under postcode 2172 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Holsworthy electorate.
