Family-oriented suburb about 36 km west of the Sydney CBD (30 km as the crow flies) in the City of Fairfield, part of the Greater Western Sydney region. At the 2021 census it had 9,785 residents, with Vietnamese (26.6%) and Chinese (13.8%) the most common ancestries; 40.8% were born in Australia, followed by Vietnam (19.5%) and Iraq (7.4%), reflecting a strong Assyrian community, and only 23.5% spoke only English at home. The suburb mixes post-war and more modern family homes and has a proud football identity — it is home to NSW Premier League club Bonnyrigg White Eagles and to the Nineveh Soccer Stadium of the Fairfield Bulls, both markers of its Vietnamese-Australian and Assyrian-Australian character. The town centre, anchored by Bonnyrigg Plaza, has been reshaped over the past decade by the Newleaf Bonnyrigg regeneration of its older housing areas.

The T80 Liverpool–Parramatta T-way bus service runs through Bonnyrigg, stopping near Bonnyrigg Plaza, and other bus routes link the suburb to the nearby train station at Cabramatta as well as direct services toward Liverpool, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD. Cabramatta station — a short bus ride away — provides Sydney Trains services to the city.
Schools
Bonnyrigg Public School — NSW government primary school located adjacent to Bonnyrigg Plaza. Bonnyrigg High School — partially selective NSW government secondary school (Years 7–12) at 431 Elizabeth Drive, serving Bonnyrigg and surrounding suburbs plus selective and international students (NSW Department of Education school website).

Bonnyrigg Heights Public School, on the suburb's northern edge, serves families just across the boundary in adjacent Bonnyrigg Heights.
Shopping & Amenities
Bonnyrigg's commercial heart is Bonnyrigg Plaza on Bonnyrigg Avenue — the main shopping centre, which has undergone a major renovation bringing new stores and a fresh food court — with a Bunnings hardware store directly opposite. The surrounding town-centre commercial area also holds a PCYC, a public library and an office of Housing NSW. Brown Road hosts a smaller commercial strip of mixed Asian groceries, a Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant and takeaway, a newsagency and a Liberty service station.
Parks & Outdoors
Fourteen parks cover nearly 15.9% of Bonnyrigg's 3.0 km². Bunker Park on Bunker Parade has a basketball court, playground, paved walking trails and undercover seating, while Lalich Park on Lalich Avenue offers a playground, outdoor gym equipment, a cricket pitch and amenities building (Fairfield City Council). Green Valley Creek runs along the suburb's eastern boundary with Mount Pritchard and Cabramatta West, and Tyari Reserve — a landscaped open-space reserve with a gently sloping grassed area — lies on the southern border of adjacent Edensor Park adjoining Bonnyrigg. For sport, Bonnyrigg Sports Club on Elizabeth Drive is the home ground of the Bonnyrigg White Eagles and the suburb also hosts Nineveh Soccer Stadium, home of the Fairfield Bulls.
Property Market
The median house price in Bonnyrigg was around $1,198,613 (median house value, Cotality automated-valuation model via OnTheHouse, as at 31 May 2026); sales-based trackers are close — Your Investment Property magazine put the median house price at $1,250,000 on 46 sales in the past 12 months (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. House values rose a steep 81.33% over the five years to May 2026 (units +23.91%), with 70 sales in the past 12 months across the suburb's 3,541 properties ; YIP reported 18.48% annual capital growth on its $1.25M sales-based median. Medians cluster around $1.2–1.25M for houses and ~$720K for units — a market shaped by two very different housing streams: older post-war and former social-housing stock (recent Proplo sales show some houses at $390K–$640K and newer units at $430K–$690K) alongside newer family homes selling around $1.1–1.64M (Proplo). Population grew 12.9% between 2016 and 2021 (9,785 residents), driven by the Newleaf regeneration.
New Developments
Newleaf Bonnyrigg is the suburb's defining project — a major regeneration delivered through a Public Private Partnership with Housing NSW that is replacing more than 800 older dwellings with 2,330 new homes, adding over 3,000 residents across roughly 12 years to 2022. Bonnyrigg Plaza has undergone a major renovation with new stores and a fresh food court, and the town centre continues to attract modest infill around Bonnyrigg Avenue.
Jobs & Local Economy
Retail and local services are the suburb's main employment base, centred on Bonnyrigg Plaza, the Bunnings store opposite and the Brown Road shops, with community facilities such as the PCYC, public library and a Housing NSW office in the town centre. Many workers commute out of the suburb along the Liverpool–Parramatta T-way or via Cabramatta, Fairfield and Liverpool — its closest major regional centre.
