MARRICKVILLE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA

"The Marrickville local government area was originally owned by the Cadigal people who were dispossessed by European invasion more than 200 years ago. Today the area encompasses the suburbs of Dulwich Hill, Lewisham, Petersham, Marrickville, Stanmore, St Peters, Sydenham, Tempe, Enmore and parts of Newtown and Camperdown. It has a population of over 73,000 residents and is located in Sydney’s inner west. The whole of the area lies between 4 and 10km kilometres from the centre of the city.

Marrickville exhibits features typical of older inner city suburbs, and contains many items of heritage and of cultural significance, including sites of Aboriginal significance. While its native bushland has almost completely disappeared, there has been a significant enhancement of Marrickville’s natural environment over recent years. The Cooks River remains one of the areas most outstanding and defining features.

Marrickville’s community is extremely diverse and the population density is one of the highest in Australia..." More... Marrickville Council Census snapshot pdf.
