Airds
2 km²
A diverse mix of families and young people defines Airds, a community located within the Campbelltown region of Greater Sydney. The area is marked by a very young First Nations population and a layout where almost every home is close to a school or park. While it is highly connected to public transport, the neighbourhood struggles with limited access to basic services. This creates a contrast between its great physical accessibility and significant social and economic challenges.
