The Sutherland Shire is 26 kilometres (16 mi) south of Sydney central business district, and is bordered by the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, City of Wollongong, City of Liverpool, Georges River Council and City of Campbelltown local government areas.



The administrative centre of the local government is located in the suburb of Sutherland, with council chambers located in Eton Street. As of 10 January 2022 the Mayor of the Sutherland Shire is Cr. Carmelo Pesce, a Liberal.[3]



Within the Shire is the birthplace of modern Australia, as it was the first landing site of Lieutenant (later, Captain) James Cook, who went ashore onto what is now the suburb of Kurnell on 29 April 1770. It was originally intended to be the site of the first British Settlement, before Sydney Cove was chosen as the location during the First Fleet.
