About Richmond
Richmond is a historic market town and suburban locality in the City of Hawkesbury, situated approximately 65 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD on the Hawkesbury River floodplain. With a population of 5,418 and a median age of 43, the suburb serves as a commercial and service hub for the broader Hawkesbury region. Its large area of nearly 27 square kilometres encompasses a mix of urban residential development, heritage streetscapes, and semi-rural land.
Richmond offers a range of everyday conveniences including both a Coles and a Woolworths supermarket, along with schools, medical centres, and a heritage town centre with cafes and shops. The suburb has a growing diverse community with notable Indian and Nepali populations, and proximity to RAAF Base Richmond and Western Sydney University's Hawkesbury campus contributes to a mix of residents. Relatively affordable rents and house prices compared to inner Sydney make Richmond an appealing option for families and first-home buyers looking to enter the Greater Sydney market.
Richmond falls under postcode 2753 and is governed by Hawkesbury Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hawkesbury electorate.
