About Narellan

Narellan is an established residential suburb in Sydney's south-west, situated within the Camden Council area approximately 50 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. With a population of around 3,358, the suburb has experienced notable growth in recent decades as part of the broader Macarthur region expansion. The median household income reflects a largely working and middle-class community, with housing that spans older established homes, newer estates, and units across a compact 4.3 square kilometre area.

Narellan is home to the Narellan Town Centre, one of the region's primary retail destinations, offering supermarkets, specialty stores, and dining options along Camden Valley Way. The suburb holds remarkable historical significance, with several state heritage-listed properties including the Kirkham Stables and Precinct, Camelot, and Studley Park — a testament to its colonial past. Bus services connect residents to Campbelltown and Macarthur stations for rail access to Sydney, while the area's schools, parks, and community facilities make it a practical base for families.

Narellan falls under postcode 2567 and is governed by Camden Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Camden electorate.
