1. Great for Families

Sutherland Shire is a laidback community. The streets are safe, there are great educational opportunities, and the crime rate is relatively low, making families feel comfortable about raising their children here.

2. Close Enough for Work

While many retirees live in Sutherland Shire, the area has a big benefit for people who are still working. Commuting to Sydney is a 30-40 minute ride on a speedy commuter train. Don’t worry about driving or paying for parking, simply sit back and enjoy your trip back and forth.

3. Green Spaces and Outdoor Activities

There are numerous health benefits to spending time outdoors, particularly in “green areas” — places with lots of trees and grass. Looking at the colour green helps people relax and feel less stressed, plus all the natural light and fresh air help perk up your mental and physical health.

Sutherland Shire boasts two large national parks, the Royal National Park and Heathcote National Park.

For example, every Saturday people gather to purchase fresh, local produce and chat with their friends at the Shire Farmer’s Market. Plus, festivals and musical events are held at Peace Park various times per year.

6. Enjoyable Amenities

Sutherland Shire doesn’t have huge retail centres, though those are within easy reach in Sydney. Instead, it has tons of interesting little businessese and eateries that are so much fun to explore.

7. Arts and Entertainment

Along with great shopping and dining, Sutherland Shire is bolstering the performing art community. The Sutherland Memorial School of Arts and the Sutherland Entertainment Centre have both experienced significant upgrades recently and are poised to offer the community some extra class.
