About Bangor
Bangor is a peaceful bushland suburb in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, located 28 kilometres south of the CBD. Named after the Welsh city of Bangor by its original landowner, this community of over 5,500 residents sits between the Georges and Woronora rivers. The suburb was developed in the 1970s-80s with streets named using Aboriginal themes, creating a distinctive local character.
Life in Bangor feels like a bush retreat within Sydney—native bushland fringes the suburb, and the nearby rivers provide kayaking, fishing, and scenic walks. The local shopping centre serves daily needs, while families appreciate the excellent schools including Inaburra School and strong sporting clubs. Bangor attracts those seeking space, nature access, and a genuine community feel while remaining connected to Sydney via the Bangor Bypass and good bus services.
Bangor falls under postcode 2234 and is governed by Sutherland Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Miranda electorate.
