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 Woronora Heights.
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.

Woronora Heights rests on a plateau, a verdant expanse where the land gently slopes towards the dramatic gorges and the winding ribbon of the Woronora River below. It lies 10.4 km south-west of Hurstville, NSW (from Hurstville, NSW: bearing 220°T), and is situated 12.7 km south of Bankstown. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and eucalypt, particularly after a rain, a constant reminder of the bushland that presses in from all sides. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, paints shifting patterns on the well-tended lawns and the brick facades of homes, creating a quiet, domestic beauty. The landscape is a mix of manicured gardens and the wilder, untamed edges of the plateau, where ferns unfurl and the calls of native birds echo through the trees. The very feel of the place is one of comfortable elevation, a sense of being slightly removed from the busier coastal plains, yet still connected to their vibrant energy.
The history of Woronora Heights is intrinsically linked to the development of the Sutherland Shire, a story of expanding suburbs meeting the rugged natural beauty of the region. Early development saw this elevated land become desirable for its cooler air and expansive views, a contrast to the humid coastal strip. The local economy, while no longer dominated by the farming or grazing that once characterised parts of the wider shire, now thrives on a blend of service industries and the essential infrastructure supporting its growing residential population. Its distinctive character is partly defined by its proximity to national parks, offering residents easy access to bushwalking trails and the serene beauty of the Georges River catchment. This connection to nature, to the quiet murmur of the nearby waterways and the rustle of leaves, imbues everyday life in Woronora Heights with a distinct, unhurried quality.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Woronora Heights, in the Sutherland Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Woronora Heights includes the postcode (2233), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Sutherland 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 Woronora Heights is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
