About Pyrmont

Pyrmont is Sydney's most successfully transformed inner-city suburb, where nearly 13,000 residents live in converted woolstores, modern apartments, and heritage buildings on the harbour's edge. Walking distance to the CBD and connected by light rail, it offers genuine urban convenience. Media companies and Google have made it a tech hub.

The fish markets remain iconic, while waterfront dining and the Star casino add entertainment. Jones Bay Wharf and the various parks provide harbour access. Pyrmont attracts media professionals, tech workers, and urban dwellers who value walkability and waterfront. It's inner-city reinvention done right—industrial heritage, harbour views, city lifestyle.

Pyrmont falls under postcode 2009 and is governed by Sydney Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Sydney electorate.
