About Peakhurst

Peakhurst sits quietly in Sydney's St George region, about 18 kilometres south of the CBD. This residential suburb of around 12,000 people has a distinctly suburban character - brick homes, tidy gardens, and tree-lined streets. Part of the Georges River council area, it neighbours Hurstville's commercial centre while maintaining its own peaceful identity.

The suburb attracts families seeking space and quiet without sacrificing city access. Parks and community facilities dot the residential streets, creating natural gathering spots for neighbours. There's a settled, unpretentious feel - people here aren't chasing trends but building stable family lives. The mix of young families and long-term residents creates a multi-generational community.

Peakhurst falls under postcode 2210 and is governed by Georges River Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oatley electorate.
