About Kemps Creek

Kemps Creek is a semi-rural suburb located approximately 39 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, straddling the local government areas of Liverpool and Penrith. With a population of around 2,120, it retains a distinctly rural character with large acreage properties, market gardens, and open farmland. The suburb is set to undergo significant transformation due to its proximity to the new Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek.

The area is popular with those seeking a rural lifestyle within Greater Sydney, offering horse properties, hobby farms, and a strong sense of community. Kemps Creek is home to the Sydney International Equestrian Centre and the Australian Botanic Garden at nearby Mount Annan. The suburb appeals to families and tree-changers who value space and privacy while remaining connected to Sydney's growing western corridor and the emerging Aerotropolis precinct.

Kemps Creek falls under postcode 2178 and is governed by Liverpool Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Badgerys Creek electorate.
