About Campbelltown

Campbelltown is the major centre of Sydney's Macarthur region, where over 16,000 CBD residents access comprehensive urban services in what functions as an independent satellite city. The T8 Airport & South and T2 Inner West & Leppington lines provide CBD connectivity, while the Western Sydney University campus adds educational infrastructure. As Macarthur's capital, it serves hundreds of thousands across the region.

Macarthur Square is a major shopping destination, while the revitalised CBD precinct offers dining and services. Campbelltown Arts Centre and the old colonial-era buildings provide cultural interest. The suburb attracts families seeking affordable homeownership with genuine urban amenities, plus professionals working in the growing Macarthur employment market. It's Sydney's southern satellite—independent yet connected.

Campbelltown falls under postcode 2560 and is governed by Campbelltown Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Campbelltown electorate.
