Yagoona, a suburb of the local government area City of Canterbury-Bankstown, is located 20 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is a part of the South-western Sydney region. Yagoona is an Aboriginal word meaning 'now' or 'today'.[2]

Key Information

History

[edit]

The area now known as Yagoona—Bass Hill, and north Bankstown—was once known as Irish Town, due to the high concentration of Irish rebels transported here from Ireland in the late 1700s. Land grants were issued to Irish families and finally the suburb of Yagoona was created in 1927.[3] St Matthew's Anglican Church was built on Liverpool Road (now Hume Highway) in 1861 to cater for the Protestants of the district as well as to function as a school.[3]

Commercial area

[edit]
Entering Yagoona from Bankstown along the Hume Highway

The main commercial area is located on the Hume Highway (Liverpool Road), near Yagoona railway station. In 1963,[4] the Westfield Group built a supermarket on a vacant lot on the highway; the store opened as Coles New World, later became Franklins, and then an IGA.[5] Yagoona was home to the first McDonald's restaurant in Australia, opened in 1971,[6] but it closed in 1994.[7][8] In July 2021, it was confirmed that a new McDonalds restaurant will open on the very same site as the first restaurant in Australia, coinciding with the franchise's 50th anniversary celebrations in the country. The restaurant opened on 17 December 2021.[9]

Over recent years[when?], this shopping strip has been in economic decline as a consequence of major banks (Commonwealth, National Australia and Westpac) and retailers leaving. Residents now find it more convenient to shop at nearby Bass Hill Plaza or further away at Bankstown Central or Westfield Parramatta. There have been some plans to rejuvenate the town centre in Yagoona in recent years by Bankstown City Council. "Initial suggestions, already supported by residents and visitors, include a larger supermarket, a new community centre, improved shopping environment, and a variation in housing."[10]

The head office of RSPCA NSW, plus a shelter,[11] is located along Rookwood Road in this suburb.

Transport

[edit]
Yagoona railway station

Yagoona railway station is on the Bankstown line of the Sydney Trains network. A number of bus services link Yagoona to Bankstown and Parramatta. Yagoona is located some 5 – 10 minutes from Bankstown Central Business District and about 10 – 15 minutes from Parramatta CBD.

The Hume Highway cuts through Yagoona and is the main road access for Yagoona to Liverpool and Sydney City; and Rookwood Road connects south to Stacey Street/Fairford Road (Entrance to the M5), and north to Silverwater Road (Access to the M4). A 30-metre pedestrian bridge costing A$2.3 million[12] linking the side footpaths of Hume Highway was built in 2006, primarily to ensure easy and safe access travel in this area for the students of Yagoona Primary School. Lifts are located at each end to ensure easy access for those with disabilities. The construction of the bridge was funded by the Government of New South Wales. The bridge will also help streamline Hume Highway traffic by removing the previous set of traffic lights.[13]

History

Early settlement

The area now known as Yagoona lies on the traditional lands of the people, the Aboriginal custodians of much of the Cumberland Plain in western , where they maintained a deep connection to the landscape through hunting, gathering, and cultural practices for thousands of years. The name "Yagoona" derives from a word meaning "now" or "today," reflecting the linguistic heritage of the local Indigenous communities. European colonization began impacting the region in the late following the establishment of the British penal colony at in 1788, with land grants issued from the 1790s onward to support agricultural production for the growing settlement. The area, part of larger grants along the road southwest from , became known as "Irish Town" due to the significant presence of Irish convict settlers who were transported to and allocated portions of land for farming. These settlers, many of whom were political prisoners or common convicts from , established small-scale operations focused on orchards and market gardens, contributing to the colony's food supply amid the fertile soils of the Cumberland Plain. By the mid-19th century, land use in Yagoona remained predominantly agricultural, characterized by small family farms producing fruits, vegetables, and other crops for local markets in . The establishment of St Matthew's Anglican Church in 1861 marked the first permanent structure in the area, serving as a central community hub for the Protestant settlers and facilitating religious and social gatherings amid the scattered farmsteads. Nearby, the opening of in 1867, just to the north near Haslem's Creek, occupied extensive previously available for settlement or farming, influencing the pattern of rural development in the vicinity.

Suburban growth and recent developments

Yagoona transitioned from rural agricultural land to a recognized suburb in 1927, marking the beginning of its urban development amid Sydney's expanding metropolitan footprint. The suburb's growth accelerated significantly after World War II, driven by the influx of European migrants who purchased affordable housing in the area during the 1950s economic boom. This period saw a surge in residential construction, transforming Yagoona into a densely populated working-class enclave as part of broader post-war suburbanization efforts in western Sydney. Key infrastructure milestones supported this expansion, including the opening of Yagoona railway station on 16 July 1928, which facilitated commuter access and spurred further settlement along the Bankstown line. In 1971, Yagoona hosted Australia's first restaurant at 1098 , symbolizing the suburb's integration into modern consumer culture; the original outlet operated until 1994 before reopening in a redeveloped form in 2021. These developments reflected Yagoona's evolving role as a hub for everyday suburban life, with population growth continuing through the late 20th century to reach approximately 19,651 residents by 2021. (Note: ABS data provides the 2021 figure, with historical growth inferred from regional trends showing a doubling in western Sydney populations from the onward.) Recent years have brought targeted projects to address ongoing needs. Under the NSW Government's $769 million plan to build 100 public preschools by 2027, a new facility at Yagoona Public School—featuring two rooms for up to 40 children—was announced in 2024, with construction underway and expected completion by early 2027. In June 2025, Canterbury-Bankstown Council approved Development Application DA-1339/2024 for a six-storey mixed-use building at 143-145 Highland Avenue, incorporating residential apartments, retail spaces, and parking to support denser, sustainable housing. Additionally, pedestrian safety enhancements at the Church Road-Hume Highway intersection, part of the council's Liveable Centres program, include a new refuge island, kerb ramps, and landscaping, completed between February and June 2024 to improve accessibility for local residents.
