About Wolli Creek

Wolli Creek has transformed from industrial area to high-rise residential precinct over two decades, about 10 kilometres south of Sydney's CBD. This suburb of roughly 10,700 residents clusters apartment towers around its railway station, with excellent transport links to both city and airport. The development is dense and contemporary.

Young professionals and investors dominate the demographic, attracted by the transport convenience and relative affordability compared to inner-city options. The cultural diversity is significant, with a substantial Asian-Australian community. Life centres on the station precinct, with restaurants and shops serving residents who prefer walkable convenience. It's modern urban living for those who prioritise access over space.

Wolli Creek falls under postcode 2205 and is governed by Rockdale Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockdale electorate.
