About Wentworth Point
Wentworth Point is a suburb
in the Inner West of Sydney,
in the state of New South
Wales, Australia. Wentworth
Point is located 16 kilometres
west of the Sydney central
business district, in the local
government area of City of
Parramatta. It is on the
western shore of Homebush
Bay on the southern side of
the Parramatta River.
After much of the area was
reclaimed from Homebush
Bay, Wentworth Point was
used for a variety of
industrial uses.
Notable businesses include
Ralph Simonds, a plywood
manufacturer, which used
the river as a transport route
for large logs, which were
then moored in Homebush
Bay while awaiting
processing.
Prior to the move of the
Royal Agricultural Society
showgrounds from Moore
Park to Homebush (as the
area of Sydney Olympic Park
was then known), much of
Wentworth Point was bought
by Payce Consolidated
Limited. Most of Wentworth
Point is now zoned for
medium to high density
residential development.
