Winmalee was formerly known as North Springwood. The town received it’s new name in 1972 following a competition. The name is aboriginal for ‘in a northerly direction’. Winmalee is one of the fastest growing towns in the Blue Mountains.

The town has its own high school, primary school, shopping centre and churches making it fully self sufficient.


The town is also well serviced by local transport as many residents commute from Winmalee to Sydney on a daily basis.

Summerhayes Park serves as the local sporting ground and is located off Hawkesbury Road. The park is an ideal location for soccer, netball and tennis and hosts many local sporting activities.

Winmalee also features a Christian conference centre not far from Winmalee Primary School down Leslie Street.

One of the newest high schools in the Blue Mountains is Winmalee High. The school was built to cater for the over population of Springwood High School in the late 1980’s reflecting the increase in population of the Winmalee area.
