More on Moorebank
Moorebank has a rich and diverse history, shaped by its strategic location along the Georges River and its role in Sydney’s industrial and residential growth. Originally home to the Cabrogal people of the Darug Nation, the area was later settled by Europeans in the early 19th century, with land grants supporting farming and agriculture. The suburb was named after early landowner Thomas Moore, a shipbuilder and benefactor who played a significant role in Sydney’s early development.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Moorebank remained a largely rural area with farming estates, market gardens, and small industries. However, its location near Liverpool and major transport routes made it an important site for military and industrial development. The Moorebank military area, established during World War II, played a key role in training and logistics, and the suburb remains home to Defence facilities and industrial operations.
In recent decades, Moorebank has transformed into a thriving residential and commercial hub. With ongoing infrastructure projects, including the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal, the suburb continues to evolve, attracting families, professionals, and businesses. The mix of older homes, modern developments, and riverside properties gives Moorebank a unique character, where both history and progress are evident in the local streetscape.
With Moorebank’s combination of older and newer homes, the need for high-quality window furnishings varies across the suburb. Heritage-style houses may require classic plantation shutters that enhance their charm while providing insulation and privacy, while modern homes often benefit from sleek roller blinds or motorised solutions that offer convenience and energy efficiency. Given the area’s proximity to the river, sun protection and ventilation are also important considerations, making outdoor awnings and retractable screens popular choices.
