Homebush is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 12 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Strathfield.
The name of the suburb derives ultimately from an estate to the north, called "HomeRead more
Bush" and owned by colonial surgeon D'Arcy Wentworth, via the historic Homebush railway station, named after the estate and built in 1855. The present-day suburb of Homebush is bisected by the main suburban railway, Parramatta Road and the M4 Motorway into distinct sections with separate histories of development and present patterns of land use.
South of the railway is the core of the historic "Village of Homebush" estate developed in 1878. This part of the suburb is predominantly low-rise historical homes, with a school, a historic commercial high street and newer mid-rise apartments clustered around the station. It was part of "Strathfield" from 1885 until 1977, and the boundary with Strathfield was further adjusted in 1995.
North of the railway was known as North Homebush in the early 20th century when it experienced industrial and residential development. Homebush Municipal Council was established in 1906 covering the areas of Homebush and Homebush West north of the rail line. It remained a separate municipality until 1947. In the early 21st century, north Homebush has experienced significant population growth due to high density residential developments. The construction of the M4 Motorway in north Homebush led to the demolition of historic homes. Commercial premises now predominate in this area.
A number of geographical names outside the suburb also take their names from the Home Bush Estate. The separate suburb of Flemington was officially gazetted as "Homebush West" in 1992. Homebush Bay (early known as The Flats) is a major inlet on the southern side of the Parramatta River, now surrounded by the separate suburbs of Wentworth Point, Sydney Olympic Park and Rhodes.
