About Breakfast Point
Breakfast Point is a suburb in the Inner West of
Sydney, in the state of New South Wales,
Australia. Breakfast Point is located 16
kilometres west of the Sydney central business
district. Breakfast Point is in the local
government area of the City of Canada Bay.
Much of the area at Breakfast Point was
occupied by the Mortlake Gas Works of the
Australian Gaslight Company (AGL). AGL
began developing the site from 1883. The
Mortlake Gasworks site offered river access for
colliers to bring coal and virtually unlimited
space for expansion. The gas works remained
in operation until the 1990s when in 1998 AGL,
after a selected tender process, selected
Rosecorp Pty. Ltd. to progressively acquire and
develop the Mortlake site. Redevelopment has
proceeded since then.
Breakfast Point also has a little town centre with
IGA supermarket, The Olive Kitchen restaurant,
Il Punto Pizzeria, two clothing shops, a
hairdressers, day spa and one dental surgery at
Canada Bay Dental. Further developments are
planned. These developments are located
opposite the historic Palace Hotel in Tennyson
Road.
