LEARN MORE ABOUT .idFairfield City is a residential, commercial and industrial LGA in south western Sydney about 32 kilometres south west of the Sydney GPO. The City features a large residential population as well as significant employment areas based around large-scale industrial estates at Wetherill Park, Smithfield as well as the major commercial centres of Fairfield and Cabramatta.
Note: The migration flows depicted above are historical and do not represent future or forecast migration flows or subsequent council boundary changes. The arrows represent migration flows to the area as a whole and do not indicate an origin or destination for any specific localities within the area. Overseas flow shows overseas arrivals based on answers to the census question "where did the person usually live 5-years ago" and .id estimates of international out-migration.
*Please note, the 2021 Census was undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time where border restrictions had largely halted overseas in-migration for the 15 months prior. 2016-2021 net overseas migration levels reflect this and therefore should not necessarily be considered indicative of longer-term trends.
There are also significant differences in the supply of residential property within the City which will also have a major influence in structuring different population and household futures over the next five to twenty years. Large new medium density opportunities have been identified in Fairfield, Cabramatta, Bonnyrigg, Smithfield, Canley Heights, Fairfield East, Fairfield Heights and Villawood and as a result, this area will contribute significantly to the City’s population growth over the forecast period. Canley Heights, Canley Vale, Wetherill Park, Edensor Park, Mount Pritchard, Fairfield West, Cabramatta West and Prairiewood are also expected to add significant numbers of dwellings over the forecast period. All areas are expected to increase in population to some extent, driven by both infill and site-specific residential development.
