Overview

Redfern sits just 3 km south of Sydney’s CBD, centred on a bustling commercial strip along Redfern Street and nearby Regent Street. The suburb offers a blend of historic heritage sites, such as the Cathedral of the Annunciation of Our Lady, Fitzroy Terrace and the Redfern Post Office, and vibrant community spaces like Redfern Park and Redfern Oval, home to the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Redfern All Blacks. A diverse range of churches, schools and the Aboriginal Dance Theatre adds cultural depth, while cafés, a hostel and the Surrey Club Hotel contribute to an active lifestyle.

Transport is anchored by Redfern railway station, the first stop south of Central and the closest station to the University of Sydney campus, with the Southern Arterial Route providing major road access. The housing mix reflects ongoing gentrification: 68.1 % of dwellings are flats and 28.6 % are semi‑detached, terrace or townhouse types, set against a backdrop of Victorian terraces and public‑housing estates. At the 2021 census Redfern recorded 13,072 residents, many of whom benefit from the suburb’s extensive redevelopment plans aimed at increasing density and reducing poverty.
