About Sans Souci

Sans Souci stretches along the Georges River about 17 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD in the St George area. This waterfront suburb of roughly 10,900 residents enjoys genuine river access with boat ramps, a beach, and waterfront reserves. The character is distinctly water-focused, with many residents owning boats moored nearby.

The boating culture defines the community - weekends mean getting on the water, whether for fishing, skiing, or simply cruising. Families appreciate the waterfront parks and relative calm of river beaches compared to ocean alternatives. The demographic mixes long-term boating families with newcomers who discovered the lifestyle. It's St George with a maritime twist.

Sans Souci falls under postcode 2219 and is governed by Georges River Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockdale electorate.
