Breakfast Point

Breakfast Point is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

Breakfast Point is located 16 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district.

[6] Much of the area at Breakfast Point was occupied by the Mortlake Gas Works of the Australian Gaslight Company (AGL).

The Mortlake Gasworks site offered river access for colliers—known as 'sixty milers'—to bring coal and virtually unlimited space for expansion.

[7] Breakfast Point is the location of one of the largest urban renewal projects in Sydney on a site formerly belonging to AGL.

The New South Wales State Government took control of the approval process for the development from Canada Bay Council in August 2005, citing lengthy delays.

[1] Breakfast Point also has a little town centre with IGA supermarket, Cafe Breakfast Point restaurant, Il Punto Pizzeria, two clothing shops, a hairdressers, day spa and one dental surgery at Canada Bay Dental.

Bridj buses service the area including Rhodes shops, Concord Hospital, Burwood and Strathfeild train stations, Sydney Olympic Park and at some times on weekdays Five Dock.
