About Quakers Hill
Quakers Hill is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of
New South Wales, Australia. It is 40 kilometres (25
mi) west of the Sydney central business district, in
the local government area of the City of
Blacktown. Quakers Hill is part of the Greater
Western Sydney. Quakers Hill is
colloquially known as 'Quakers'.
Quakers Hill has a blend of old and new
developments. There are some Housing
Commission Houses on the older (southern) side
of Quakers Hill, mainly near Marayong. The
western side of the railway line predominantly has
houses on standard residential blocks,
some built when HMAS Nirimba was an active
naval base, others through the 1960s and 1970s.
The eastern side of the railway line consists of
dwellings constructed since the 1980s, with a high
proportion of high density homes or townhouses.
