Suburb History

Ermington is located 19 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Parramatta. Ermington lies on the northern bank of the Parramatta River. Timor Barracks is just inside the northern boundary of Ermington, on the corner of Kissing Point Road and Stewart Street. It is currently home to the 8th Command Support Regiment. Next to the Timor Barracks is the Lottie Stewart Hospital opened in 1948. The hospital has a history of palliative care and is operated by the Wesley Mission.

Real Estate & Design

Large-scale sub-division was undertaken in the ‘40s, as evidenced by the significant number of post-war houses which were originally built to accommodate returned servicemen and their families. Since the Sydney property boom in the early 2000s, Ermington has had a wave of young families settle here in search of affordable houses. In 2006 the site of the former Ermington Naval Storage Depot was cleared for development of the Riverwalk Estate.

Distance from the CBD & Transportation
