About Undercliffe

Undercliffe is a small enclave within the broader Earlwood locality in Sydney's inner south-west, situated approximately 10 kilometres from the Sydney CBD within the City of Canterbury-Bankstown. Named after the prominent sandstone outcrops that define the area, Undercliffe sits between Wolli Creek and the Cooks River and covers a compact residential footprint. The suburb's history traces back to the 1840s when the quarrying of Sydney sandstone formed the foundation of its earliest industry.

Today Undercliffe is a quiet residential pocket characterised by Federation-era and post-war homes set among leafy streets close to the Cooks River parklands. Waterworth Park provides a velodrome and open recreation space that serves the local community. Its proximity to Wolli Creek and Earlwood shops ensures residents enjoy a relaxed suburban lifestyle with easy access to public transport corridors heading into the city.

Undercliffe falls under postcode 2206 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Canterbury electorate.
