Overview

Rutherford, a suburb of the City of Maitland in New South Wales, was home to 11,884 residents at the 2016 census, making it one of the most populated localities in the area. The neighbourhood blends mixed‑type residential development with bulky‑goods retail, light industry and manufacturing, and it features a small commercial centre, several schools, including Rutherford Public School, St Paul’s Primary School and Rutherford Technology High School, and a variety of indoor and outdoor sporting facilities. Residents enjoy nearby green spaces such as the Alex Mcdonald Recreation Area and Rutherford Oval, while the Rutherford Library provides community‑focused services.

Transport is anchored by the New England Highway, which the Hunter Expressway (opened 2014) now bypasses to ease congestion. Hunter Valley Buses routes 181‑183 and 179‑180 link the suburb to surrounding towns, and the Main North line runs along its southern edge, with Farley railway station a short distance away. Maitland Airport sits in the western part of Rutherford, offering charter flights for general aviation.
