About Leppington

Leppington is a rapidly growing outer suburb in Sydney's south-west, located approximately 55 kilometres from the CBD within the Camden Council area. The suburb covers a large 20.3 square kilometres at an elevation of around 110 metres, and its population nearly tripled from 3,498 in 2016 to 9,423 in 2021, reflecting the intense residential development sweeping the South West Sydney growth corridor. Median household income of approximately $118,000 per year and high average household sizes of 3.2 people point to an area dominated by young families building their lives in newly established streets and estates.

Leppington attracts a remarkably diverse mix of newcomers, with Indian, Iraqi, Filipino and Pacific Islander communities well represented alongside Italian, Lebanese, and broader multicultural backgrounds. The suburb is served by Leppington Railway Station on the South West Rail Link, connecting residents to Liverpool and the broader network, and the area continues to see expansion of schools, parks, and retail facilities to meet its booming population. With very low social housing (0.1%), high mortgage commitments, and a young median age of 32, Leppington embodies the aspirational family quarter of Greater Sydney's expanding south-west frontier.

Leppington falls under postcode 2179 and is governed by Camden Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Leppington electorate.
