 Drummoyne
New South Wales
Drummoyne is a
suburb in the inner west of
Sydney, in
the state of
New
South Wales,
Australia. It is located 6 kilometres west of the
Sydney central business district and is the administrative
centre for the local government area of the
City of Canada Bay.
Drummoyne sits on the peninsula between Iron Cove
and Five Dock Bay. It is surrounded on three sides by
Sydney Harbour and the

waterfront views. Drummoyne neighbours the similarly historic Five
Dock, Abbotsford and Balmain, though Russell Lea is the only
adjacent suburb by land.

commercial developments, and still retains some of its industrial
heritage. The main shopping strip is located along Victoria Road and
the intersecting Lyons Road. There is also a small shopping plaza at
this point. A shopping mall is located at Birkenhead Point, known as
the Birkenhead Point Shopping Centre, featuring a Coles supermarket,
specialty shops and factory outlet stores. The Canada Bay Civic
Centre, the administration building for the
City of Canada Bay, is located in
Marlborough Street.

in 2000 by the amalgamation of the municipalities of Drummoyne and
Concord. It is part of the State electorate of Drummoyne and the
current member for Drummoyne is Angela D'Amore. It is in the Federal
