Overview

Located 27 km south of Sydney’s CBD, Illawong rests between the southern shore of the Georges River and the northern shore of the Woronora River, giving residents a “between two waters” lifestyle surrounded by reserves such as Jelba, Lakewood City and Bilba. At the 2021 Census the suburb housed 7,427 people, the majority born in Australia, and the median weekly household income was $2,778. Housing is dominated by large separate houses, with 74.2 % offering four or more bedrooms, reflecting the family‑friendly character of the area.

A small commercial hub, Illawong Village, was rebuilt in 2007 and now hosts a supermarket, liquor store, butcher, chemist, cafés and restaurants. Families benefit from two primary schools, a high school, a Uniting church and community groups such as the 1st Wearne Bay Sea Scouts, while U‑Go Mobility buses link the suburb via Fowler and Moreton Roads to Menai, Sutherland and Bankstown. The local Rural Fire Service on Old Illawarra Road underscores the community’s preparedness in this bushfire‑prone region.
