About East Hills
We pay respect to the local Traditional people of the Salt Pan Creek area, the Bidjigal, a clan group of the Dharug people of the Sydney region, who have lived here for over 60 000 years. Their land covers Salt Pan Creek, Revesby and the estuarine surrounds north of Georges River.
The electorate of East Hills takes in the southern part of Canterbury-Bankstown City in Sydney's south-west. It runs along the Georges River from Salt Pan Creek to Georges Hall and takes in Bankstown Airport. It includes the suburbs of East Hills, Milperra, Revesby, Panania, Padstow, Picnic Point, Padstow Heights and parts of Condell Park, Georges Hall, Bass Hill and Yagoona. It covers 40.9 square kilometres.
East Hills is a diverse electorate with regards to its people, ranging from residents of luxury homes that overlook Georges River, to those doing it tough, with lots of tradies as well as numerous medical and university personnel, strong groupings of those who are religiously active and many who are very much secular.
The electorate of East Hills is home to approximately 83,000 people according to the 2021 census. Our median age is 38 years old, making us younger than the New South Wales as a whole. The most common place of birth for those living in East Hills is Australia at 61%, followed by Vietnam, Lebanon, China, India and New Zealand. It is in this beautiful diversity that the people of East Hills enjoy a unique and strong sense of community.
