Rapidly gentrifying,[2] Belmore is located 11 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown.

[citation needed] The town centre began developing in the 1920s and features some classic examples of art-deco architecture.

[citation needed] It is predominantly a low-rise residential area full of well-maintained period family homes with large back-yards, wide tree-lined streets, and small parks and playgrounds.

It is the current home ground for New South Wales Premier League team Sydney Olympic.

The "Back to Belmore" campaign was established in August 2005 to upgrade Belmore Sports Grounds as a top-class sporting facility to NRL standards for the Bulldogs to stage a select number of NRL games at their traditional home ground in the long-term future.
