You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to West Pennant Hills.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

West Pennant Hills unfolds across a landscape of gentle, rolling terrain, a place where the urban fringe begins to soften into swathes of established parkland and the occasional lingering remnant of orchard country. It lies 3.2 km north-north-west of Carlingford, NSW (from Carlingford, NSW: bearing 342°T), and is situated 12.5 km east-north-east of Blacktown. The air here, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a subtle, almost dusty sweetness, a remnant of the fruit-growing past, mingling with the sharp, clean scent of eucalypts that still punctuate the suburban sprawl. Mature trees, their bark rough and fissured, stand as silent sentinels over quiet streets, their canopies forming a dappled ceiling that filters the bright Australian sunlight, casting shifting patterns on manicured lawns and the occasional weathered fence. The character of West Pennant Hills is one of settled, comfortable suburban existence, a place where the echoes of a more rural past still resonate in the generous lot sizes and the enduring presence of green spaces, a subtle contrast to the relentless march of development that surrounds it.
The history of West Pennant Hills is intrinsically tied to its fertile soils, once the domain of prolific orchards that supplied Sydney with its fruit, a legacy that still whispers through the names of streets and the occasional stubbornly productive tree. This agricultural heritage, a vital part of the local economy for generations, has gradually yielded to residential expansion, transforming the character of the locality while retaining a discernible connection to its agrarian roots. The establishment of significant educational institutions and research centres within and around West Pennant Hills has further shaped its identity, drawing a community focused on learning and innovation, contributing to a sense of intellectual vibrancy. Notably, the area’s accessibility to major arterial roads has facilitated its growth, allowing for a steady flow of commuters and visitors, yet the prevailing sense remains one of a community that values its leafy avenues and the quiet pace of life it offers to those who call it home.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on West Pennant Hills, in The Hills Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for West Pennant Hills includes the postcode (2125), telephone area code (02), and local government area (The Hills Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct West Pennant Hills is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
