About South Windsor
South Windsor is a residential suburb within the City of Hawkesbury, located approximately 60 kilometres north-west of Sydney's CBD in New South Wales. Part of the Hawkesbury–Windsor urban corridor, the suburb sits on low-lying land near the Hawkesbury River and covers an area of around 8.9 square kilometres. With a population of 5,948 and a median age of 34, South Windsor has a relatively young demographic, with median household incomes below the Greater Sydney average reflecting its outer metropolitan character.
South Windsor adjoins the historic town of Windsor, one of Australia's oldest European settlements, and residents benefit from the heritage streetscapes, parklands, and riverside lifestyle of the broader Windsor area. The suburb is served by Windsor railway station and provides access to the Hawkesbury River recreational precinct, with schools, shops, and community facilities available in the adjacent Windsor town centre. A notable proportion of social housing contributes to a diverse residential community, and the suburb's proximity to national parks and rural landscapes appeals to those seeking an affordable outer-Sydney lifestyle.
South Windsor falls under postcode 2756 and is governed by Hawkesbury Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hawkesbury electorate.
