Overview
Illawong lies 27 km south of Sydney’s CBD in the Sutherland Shire, between the Georges and Woronora Rivers. Its Aboriginal name “between two waters” reflects the waterfront setting and the Illawong Nature Reserve, which protects two wetlands and the long‑necked turtle. The suburb offers a small commercial hub at Illawong Village (rebuilt 2007) with a supermarket, liquor store, specialty shops and cafés, plus two primary schools, Menai High School and a nursing home.
Public transport is served by U‑Go Mobility buses that link Illawong to Menai, Sutherland and Bankstown, while Fowler and Moreton Roads provide easy car access. The 2021 census recorded 7,427 people, with a median weekly household income of $2,778 – well above the national average. Housing is dominated by large separate houses, 74 % of dwellings having four or more bedrooms, giving the suburb a spacious, family‑friendly character.
