Overview

Gillieston Heights sits just 5.1 km north‑north‑west of Maitland’s CBD in the Hunter Region. At the 2021 Census the suburb recorded 4,796 residents, a figure that has swelled since 2005 as large residential developments were approved under the city’s urban‑settlement strategy, doubling the population by 2011. The growing mix of newer homes alongside the original miner‑built dwellings offers a range of housing options for families and commuters, while nearby green spaces such as Judd Greedy Park, Gillieston Heights Reserve and Joseph Maxwell VC Park provide easy access to recreation and the scenic walls of Wallis Creek and Fishery Creek.

Transport links include Rover Coaches route 164, which runs to Cessnock and Maitland, and community calls to restore passenger services on the South Maitland Railway, with a new Gillieston Heights station identified as a priority. Education needs are served by the expanding Gillieston Public School and the independent The Heights Learning Community, reinforcing the suburb’s appeal as a convenient, family‑friendly locale.
