About McGraths Hill

McGraths Hill is a semi-rural residential suburb in the Hawkesbury City local government area, located approximately 55 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD. With a population of around 2,550, it is a quiet, family-oriented community with a high owner-occupancy rate of 80%. The suburb sits on relatively flat land near the Hawkesbury River floodplain and has seen steady residential development since the 1990s.

McGraths Hill is well served by the nearby Pitt Town and Windsor shopping centres, and the large Richmond Marketplace is a short drive away. The area is popular with families seeking affordable larger blocks and a slower pace of life while remaining within commuting distance of Sydney. Residents enjoy access to the scenic Hawkesbury River, local hobby farms, and a strong sense of community.

McGraths Hill falls under postcode 2756 and is governed by Hawkesbury Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hawkesbury electorate.
