About Shanes Park

Shanes Park is a suburb on the outer western edge of metropolitan Sydney, located approximately 50 kilometres west of the CBD within the City of Blacktown and City of Penrith local government areas. Covering around 8.75 square kilometres, it is part of Greater Western Sydney's rapidly expanding Blacktown–Penrith corridor, surrounded by the growth centres of Marsden Park, Jordan Springs, and Llandilo. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 384 residents across 114 dwellings, reflecting its current low-density rural-residential character amid broader suburban development pressures.

Shanes Park is predominantly characterised by rural-residential properties and hobby farms, offering a semi-rural lifestyle at the western metropolitan fringe. Residents are well-positioned to access Penrith Westfield and the Penrith CBD approximately 15 kilometres to the south-west, while Schofields and Riverstone stations on the T1 Western Line provide rail access to the Sydney CBD. The M7 and M2 motorways nearby also make commuting to employment centres across Western Sydney practical by car, and the area continues to attract buyers seeking space and relative affordability close to Penrith's growing services.

Shanes Park falls under postcode 2747 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Penrith electorate.
