About Tahmoor

Tahmoor is a growing residential township in the Wollondilly local government area, approximately 75 kilometres south-west of Sydney's CBD and within the Greater Sydney statistical region. With a population of 5,777 and a young median age of 34, the suburb appeals to families seeking more affordable housing on Sydney's outer south-western fringe. Situated at an elevation of 278 metres in the foothills of the Southern Highlands, Tahmoor offers spacious residential lots at a significantly lower cost than closer-in Sydney suburbs.

Everyday conveniences are well-served with Woolworths and ALDI supermarkets, local schools, and community facilities in the suburb. The Picton railway line provides public transport links to Sydney, and the nearby Hume Highway offers direct road connections to both the city and the Southern Highlands. The area's character is shaped largely by young families and working households who value the quieter, semi-rural setting while remaining within commuting range of Sydney's employment centres.

Tahmoor falls under postcode 2573 and is governed by Wollondilly Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wollondilly electorate.
