Your Local South Granville Plumber

South Granville was part of the Borough of Granville from 1885, and the Oakleigh Estate was surveyed in 1923 and sold off around 1924. What defines it came twenty years later. In 1944 the Housing Commission built its first group development in New South Wales here, on Montgomery Avenue, Blaxcell Street, Chiswick Road and Oakleigh Avenue; a report that December counted 42 fibro houses, 33 brick and one steel, with fibro along Blaxcell, Chiswick and Oakleigh and brick mostly on Montgomery. The group is now rated of State significance. The Commission kept building into the 1950s, several hundred houses in all, especially around Dellwood Street and Woodville Road, and in 1947 it laid the foundation stone for the Dellwood shopping centre, the first planned shopping centre it built. The suburb is in Cumberland Council. At the 2021 census about seven in ten homes were separate houses, almost one in five townhouses or semis and one in ten flats, and almost half were rented.

With so much of South Granville built in the 1940s and 50s, a large share of its houses still drain through the sewer they were built with. Many have since had granny flats or townhouses added behind them, which ties new plumbing into lines eighty years old. The Duck River runs down the eastern side of the suburb, with parkland along it, and Cumberland Council's flood study for the A'Becketts Creek, Duck Creek and Duck River catchments, a 42 square kilometre area that includes South Granville, was on public exhibition until September 2026. Shops are scattered rather than gathered in one centre, in small groups on Dellwood, Blaxcell and Clyde Streets, and there is an employment area at the southern end.
