Hebersham is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Hebersham is located 47 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Blacktown and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
Hebersham was coined to honour the Anglican Bishop Reginald Heber of Calcutta whose diocese included New South Wales. In 1829 the Trustees of the Clergy and Schools Lands in New South Wales planned to establish a village named Hebersham on the Western Highway, west of Eastern Creek. This never happened, but the name was used for this present day suburb. [2]
According to the 2021 census of Population, there were 5,643 people in Hebersham.
Hebersham is also home to Hebersham Public School, a primary school founded in 1972. [3]
Heber Park is a large recreational park in the centre of Hebersham. It contains several sports fields, a basketball court, playgrounds, and off-leash dog parks. The park has basic facilities such as goalposts, shelters, and field lighting to support local-level sports. [4]
