About Oatley
Oatley claims one of St George's most desirable positions, set on the Georges River about 20 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD. This leafy suburb of roughly 10,700 residents features waterfront reserves, a characterful village centre, and a strong community identity. The combination of river access and suburban charm creates enduring appeal.
Families particularly value the community focus - local events, school activities, and a village atmosphere where people know each other. The waterfront parks provide picnic spots, fishing, and natural play areas for children. The demographic mixes long-established families with newcomers who discovered the village charm. It's the kind of suburb people move to and never want to leave.
Oatley falls under postcode 2223 and is governed by Georges River Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oatley electorate.
