About Carnes Hill

Carnes Hill is a thriving suburb in Sydney's southwest, located 38 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Liverpool and part of Greater Western Sydney. With a population of around 3,300 and growing, it represents one of the region's success stories in masterplanned development. The suburb features modern housing on well-designed streets, appealing to families seeking quality homes with space at more accessible price points than inner Sydney.

The Carnes Hill Marketplace serves as a major drawcard, offering Woolworths, Aldi, specialty stores, medical services and dining options in a convenient one-stop centre. The suburb's strategic position near the future Western Sydney International Airport (opening 2026) makes it particularly attractive for those anticipating the economic growth corridor. Young families dominate the demographic, drawn by newer schools, parks, and the promise of a well-connected community as transport infrastructure expands.

Carnes Hill falls under postcode 2171 and is governed by Liverpool Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Leppington electorate.
