Hawkesbury City Council is located towards the outer north west of the Sydney metropolitan area. It is located about 50 kilometres and approximately one hour’s drive from the central business district.

The area takes its name from the majestic Hawkesbury River that flows through it. It is divided by four river valleys and contains fertile flood plains and wetlands, undulating hills, timbered ridges, steep gorges and towering escarpments.

The Hawkesbury is made up of many small townships and localities. The major centres are Windsor, Richmond and North Richmond.
