Wollondilly LifestyleLast modified: September 9, 2004 - 1:29 AM
Uniquely situated, Wollondilly is only one hour’s drive to the centre of Sydney’s CBD, Kingsford Smith Airport and Port Botany. Wollongong and the southern beaches are less than 30 minutes away and it’s just over two hour’s drive to Canberra. This close proximity of many locations through major road and rail links has convinced a large number of Australia’s major companies to choose Macarthur as the area for their manufacture and distribution centres. Wollondilly Council has developed plans to take advantage of the rural character of our location. Newly established housing estates offer a wide range of housing options. Suburbs are designed so as to encourage community belonging and identity. Housing options include rural residential, middle priced and executive homes. Urban and rural living are in close proximity while dwellings and land are at affordable prices.
Shopping in Wollondilly is easy, with a range of options from malls and district centres to main street shopping. Art and craft outlets, historic pubs, tourist information centres, historic streetscapes and many restaurants and wedding reception centres all serve the district, often while preserving this important heritage architecture. Top quality food, service and entertainment are also available from Wollondilly’s clubs, hotels and restaurants at inexpensive prices. These venues also provide large numbers of jobs for local residents, helping the region’s economy.
As you can see, we have just about everything; location, industry, road and rail links, health, education and lifestyle. But more importantly, we’ve got space to grow; for your business, your family your lifestyle. Wollondilly offers unlimited opportunities for expansion right on Sydney’s doorstep. Why don’t you take the time and have a look. We think you’ll be very pleased by what you see. | TOP | Contact details | ||||||||||||||

Education is another area where Wollondilly is well serviced, with public and private schools accessible to all Wollondilly students. Students wishing to continue their studies at TAFE have two colleges at Campbelltown and Macquarie Fields. These colleges offer business and education based courses, are responsive to industries and play an active part in developing and improving business and trade schools in the region. The University of Western Sydney Macarthur and the University of Wollongong offers a variety of under graduate and post graduate courses and continuing education programs. These offerings have expanded the export potential of education and attracted foreign students. With its community focus, university tuition is geared to add to the business relevant skills of the region.
Wollondilly’s lifestyle typifies Australia’s love of outdoor activities. Thirlmere Lakes, along with many other parks, rivers and natural areas, allow visitors and residents the chance to experience nature and scenic beauty. Well-developed sporting facilities offer strong local competition for cricket, netball, all types of football, golf, swimming andnumerous other sports. More than 400 sporting and recreational outlets cater to a broad range of activities and interests. 
No matter where you look in the Wollondilly Shire, you’ll see a well-organised and diverse tourist industry catering for just about every type of activity and interest. The region has a major advantage in offering rural based activity to the inbound and domestic market. Once again many colonial homes and buildings provide a perfect backdrop.
