Chullora is a suburb in Western Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown local government area, and is located 15 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district. The suburb is entirely industrial and commercial, and in the 2021 census recorded a population of 14.
==History== The suburb of Chullora was originally part of the area known as Liberty Plains, which was land given to the first free settlers who arrived in Sydney Cove on 6 January 1793. In the 1950s, many immigrants from Europe were housed in the area. Once established, they moved to other parts of Sydney. Chullora was the name used for one of the estates in this area. Chullora is an Aboriginal word meaning 'flour'. The construction of the Tip Top Bakeries has perhaps brought the suburbs back to its roots.
