Overview

Blakehurst sits 18 km south of Sydney’s CBD in the Georges River Council, bordered by Kogarah Bay to the east and the Georges River to the south. The suburb is anchored by the Princes Highway and Tom Uglys Bridge, linking directly to Sylvania and offering easy bus access (routes 959, 970, 971) to Hurstville, Miranda and the Southgate Shopping Centre, while the nearest train station at Hurstville connects commuters to the wider network. A modest commercial strip on the Princes Highway provides local shops, seafood eateries and a marina at Tom Uglys Point, alongside heritage‑listed sites such as Thurlow House.

Family life thrives with both public and Catholic schools, including Blakehurst High, Blakehurst Public, Bald Face Public and Mater Dei Primary, plus the Kogarah Bay Sailing Club and the Blakehurst Blues rugby union team. According to the 2021 census, 6,652 residents call Blakehurst home, a community where nearly two‑thirds are Australian‑born and a rich blend of languages and faiths reflects its multicultural character, supported by nearby parks and reserves for outdoor recreation.
