About Cecil Hills

Cecil Hills is a residential suburb in south-western Sydney, located approximately 35 kilometres west of the CBD within the City of Liverpool local government area. Home to around 6,906 residents, it is one of Sydney's more distinctly multicultural communities, with Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Croatian, and Serbian ancestries among the most prominent — and over 73% of residents having both parents born overseas. The median household income of $2,409 per week reflects a solid working- and middle-class demographic.

The suburb is predominantly low-density residential, characterised by established brick homes on quiet streets with a strong community feel rooted in its diverse cultural heritage. Local parks and recreational ovals are scattered throughout the neighbourhood, while shopping, medical services, and transport links are accessible via nearby Wetherill Park and Liverpool. Cecil Hills is popular with established multicultural families who have put down deep roots in the area across successive generations.

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