Blakehurst homes on Kogarah Bay
Blakehurst wraps around Kogarah Bay, Kyle Bay and Shipwrights Bay on the Georges River. More than eight in ten occupied homes were separate houses in the 2021 Census.
The Georges River (Tom Ugly's) Bridge links Blakehurst to Sylvania in the Sutherland Shire and is a listed heritage item. There is no station in the suburb; Allawah Station is the nearest, just under a kilometre away.
Local planning
Local planning notes for Blakehurst
Blakehurst comes under Georges River Council and the Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021. Waterfront lots carry most of the overlays:
- Acid sulfate soils: Class 1 acid sulfate soils cover close to a third of the suburb, which matters for pools, footings and basements.
- Coastal and foreshore: Close to half of Blakehurst, including the bays, is in the Coastal Environment Area, and parts of the waterfront are mapped as foreshore area.
- Heritage: Listed items include "Braeside Castle", "Thurlow House" (State significance), Kyle Williams House and Reserve, and Bald Face Point Reserve.
Check your address on the NSW Planning Portal, and ask Georges River Council for a planning certificate, before you design.

Can’t see your question? Call 0421 023 012 and we’ll talk it through.
Is Tom Uglys Bridge heritage listed?
Yes. The Georges River (Tom Ugly's) Bridge is listed in the Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021, and the bridge duplication is an archaeological item.
Does acid sulfate soil affect building in Blakehurst?
It can. Class 1 acid sulfate soils cover close to a third of Blakehurst, so excavation for footings or pools on mapped land may need extra assessment.

On parts of the waterfront, yes. Foreshore area is mapped along the Blakehurst shore, and close to half the suburb is in the Coastal Environment Area.
