About Shalvey
Shalvey is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of
New South Wales, Australia.
Shalvey is located 48 kilometres west of the
Sydney central business district, in the local
government area of the City of Blacktown and
is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
Housing in Shalvey is very heavily dominated by
public housing under the control of the NSW
Department of Housing built throughout the
1960s and 1970s, with a large number of
extensive terrace-style complexes. These are
gradually transferring to private ownership and
as this continues these government-built
premises are being replaced with privately
built, modern homes, similar to those being
built in other areas of Sydney.
Shalvey has a small shopping complex known
as Shalvey Shops. There is a supermarket,
chemist, doctor, butcher and takeaway shops.
