Overview

Austinmer is a leafy coastal village on Wollongong’s northern fringe, centered on the patrolled Austinmer Beach and the off‑lead “dog beach” at Little Austinmer. A short commercial strip along Lawrence Hargrave Drive and Moore Street offers a police station, veterinary clinic, churches, a school and local shops, while nearby Glastonbury Gardens, Bells Point Park and the Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area provide green space for walking and recreation. The Headland Hotel adds a historic hospitality touch, and the suburb’s community vibe is reinforced by its beachside lifestyle and easy access to multiple parks and lookouts.

Transport is convenient, with Austinmer railway station on the South Coast line delivering regular electric services to Sydney and Wollongong, and Lawrence Hargrave Drive linking directly to the Princes Highway at Bulli Pass. Families benefit from Austinmer Public School and All Saints Anglican Church within walking distance. In the 2021 Census the suburb recorded 2,725 residents, 81.2 % of whom were born in Australia, reflecting a stable, predominantly local community.
