Liberty Grove is a suburb in the Inner West[2] of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Liberty Grove is located 17 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Canada Bay.
Liberty Grove is bound by Homebush Bay Drive (part of the A3 arterial road) to the west and the Main Northern Line railway to the east. It is surrounded by the suburbs of Rhodes to the north and Concord West to the east and south, and it shares the same postcode of 2138.
The Liberty Grove development[3] won the 1999 Urban Development Institute of Australia[4] award for excellence.
Settlers first arrived in the area in January 1793 and began farming on 'Liberty Plains'. Through the 20th century it became one of Sydney's industrial areas. However, it and much of adjacent industrial area around Homebush Bay, were completely transformed as part of the Olympic precinct development in preparation for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
