About Hurstville

Hurstville has evolved into the de facto CBD of southern Sydney, a bustling commercial centre where over 31,000 residents live amid shops, restaurants, and apartments. The T4 line provides direct CBD access, and the suburb's position makes it the natural hub for the Georges River region. High-rise development has transformed the skyline, making it one of Sydney's most urbanised suburban centres.

Westfield Hurstville and the surrounding streets offer comprehensive shopping and some of Sydney's best Chinese dining outside Chinatown. The library and council services are excellent, and nearby parks provide green relief from the urban bustle. Hurstville attracts young professionals, students, and Chinese-Australian families who appreciate its city-like amenities and strong community ties. It's a suburb where you can live car-free without sacrificing convenience.

Hurstville falls under postcode 2220 and is governed by Georges River Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kogarah electorate.
