Long Point, NSW 2564

Tiny, bush-cloaked residential suburb on a bend of the Georges River roughly 46 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, in the City of Campbelltown LGA at the eastern edge of the Macarthur region. The point on the river was long known as Long Point, Long Nose Point or simply The Point before the suburb was formally named in 1975; after sand mining wound up, Campbelltown Council preserved the area as a Scenic Protection Area in the 1970s. It remains an extraordinarily small, quiet community: just 173 residents at the 2021 census (down from 212 in 2016) living in about 79 properties spread through bushland, mostly owner-occupied with an older demographic — the predominant age group is 70–79 — alongside some family households. Local colour is pure bush suburb: koala sightings are reported regularly in the Macarthur Advertiser, the area has a campground that accommodates up to 120 people, and it has long been nicknamed 'death adder valley' for its snake population.

At a Glance

Transport

Long Point has no railway station, and as a scenic-protection pocket at the end of a river bend it is a car-dependent suburb. The closest rail access is in immediately adjacent suburbs: Macquarie Fields station on the T8 Airport & South line sits just north of the suburb boundary, and Ingleburn station on the same line lies to the south-west — both a short drive from Long Point's homes, with buses and train connections centred on those neighbouring suburbs rather than within Long Point itself.

Schools

There is no school within Long Point itself — a suburb of only 173 residents with no campus of its own. Local students attend government schools in the immediately adjacent suburbs of Macquarie Fields — Macquarie Fields Public School (primary) and Macquarie Fields High School (secondary) — and Ingleburn, whose school catchments and bus services cover this side of the district.

Shopping & Amenities

Long Point has no shops or commercial centre of its own: its roughly 79 homes sit in a residential-and-bushland scenic protection area with no retail strip, and the suburb's only community landmarks are a Coptic Orthodox Church and a campground. Day-to-day shopping and services are found in the immediately adjacent suburbs of Macquarie Fields — Glenquarie Town Centre and the shops near the station — and Ingleburn's main commercial strip.

Parks & Outdoors

Bushland and the river are the suburb's whole identity: Long Point sits on a bend of the Georges River with frontage along its northern and eastern edges, facing the bushland of Holsworthy and its defence reserve across the water, and was deliberately preserved as a Scenic Protection Area in the 1970s. Hazlett Oval, a Campbelltown City Council sports ground at Bensley Road, is the suburb's main formal recreation facility, and a campground accommodating up to 120 people operates within Long Point, with koalas regularly sighted in the surrounding bush. Cotality's park count is just one formal park covering about 0.1% of the suburb — almost all of Long Point's 1.9 square kilometres is private bush blocks (PropertyValue).

Property Market

The median house price in Long Point was around ~$1.29M median house value (Cotality automated valuation, as at 31 July 2026) — not a sales-based median and based on a tiny market: 79 properties and only 7 sales in the 12 months to mid-2026 (OnTheHouse) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. The hinted range of ~$900K–1.15M understates the tracker data but the true picture is statistically thin: Cotality's automated median house value of $1,287,466 (31 July 2026) is derived from just 7 sales in 12 months across 79 properties, so any single figure swings widely with one or two sales. Stock is almost entirely houses — no unit market exists — on large bush blocks and river-frontage parcels where land value, not a comparable sales cohort, drives pricing; the 2021 census shows an older, overwhelmingly owner-occupied population (predominant age group 70–79; population fell 18.4% from 2016 to 173) consistent with a settled, low-turnover community. Buyers here are paying for river-front privacy and bushland rather than suburb conveniences, which is why the AVM sits well above the adjacent Macquarie Fields/Ingleburn house medians despite the suburb's isolation.

New Developments

Infill only — there are no significant developments. Long Point's Scenic Protection Area zoning, set by Campbelltown Council in the 1970s, keeps new building and land release to a minimum, and with the suburb almost fully bush or established lots (about 1.9 km², mostly non-urban) activity is limited to alterations and re-sales of existing homes.

Jobs & Local Economy

Long Point has essentially no local employment base given its size; residents mostly work in trades occupations and commute out (PropertyValue/ABS). The employment nodes around it are all a short drive away: the Ingleburn industrial and business precinct immediately to the south-west, the Campbelltown–Macarthur hub (Macarthur Square retail, Campbelltown Hospital, education) to the west, and the Australian Defence Force's Holsworthy Barracks in adjacent Holsworthy across the river.
