About Drummoyne

Drummoyne curves along a peninsula in Sydney's inner west, just 5 kilometres from the CBD. This affluent suburb of around 12,000 residents enjoys water frontage on three sides, with views across Iron Cove and the Parramatta River. Part of the Canada Bay council area, it offers inner-city convenience with a distinctly suburban feel.

The streets are lined with a mix of Federation homes and contemporary apartments, attracting professionals and families who want proximity to the city without the density of true inner-city living. Victoria Road brings the bustle of traffic, but step off the main drag and you'll find quiet leafy streets leading to waterfront parks. The Birkenhead Point shopping outlet adds retail therapy to the mix.

Drummoyne falls under postcode 2047 and is governed by Canada Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Drummoyne electorate.
