What's New

What's Happening in Hurstville

Hurstville is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades. Population in the central precinct has grown 23% since 2021 — driven largely by overseas migration — making it one of the fastest-growing urban centres in greater Sydney. Demand for quality residential product continues to outpace supply.

Georges River Council's Hurstville Place Strategy outlines 12 priority projects for the CBD — including a connected walkable centre, increased tree canopy, a new night-time economy, and upgraded civic infrastructure. The strategy positions Hurstville as a key regional centre for southern Sydney.

For buyers and investors, the fundamentals are compelling: strong rental demand, improving public infrastructure, and a pipeline of new developments that signal sustained confidence in the suburb's long-term trajectory.
