Macarthur Heights

Macarthur Heights is constructed on open land formerly owned by Western Sydney University. Construction of Stage 1 of the new suburb began in 2013. The street names reflect an astronomical theme, including Milky Way and Orion Street.[2]

A prominent feature of the new suburb is the "Gates of Light" sculpture,[3] located in Main Ridge Park opposite the observatory, which recognises the contribution which the Observatory made to the area. The sculpture, by prize-winning artist Khaled Sabsabi,[4][5] is illuminated at night and features the various astronomical constellations.[6] Adjacent to the sculptures, large concrete spheres have been placed, to represent the planets.

The Campbelltown Rotary Observatory, formerly stood on a hilltop close to where the "Gates of Light" are now situated. The hilltop was bulldozed and the Observatory was relocated to make way for the new development.[7] It now stands closer to the University on the highest point in the suburb.

The nearest railway station is Macarthur and various bus routes are accessible in Narellan Road.
