Canley Heights is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Canley Heights is located 31 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Fairfield and is part of the South-western Sydney region.

History

Canley Heights takes its name from its sister-suburb down the hill, Canley Vale. When Sir Henry Parkes settled there in the mid-1800s, he named his home Canley Grange, after his birthplace Canley Moat House in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, England.

In 1959, missionaries Carl and Lova Swart from the Church of God Reformation Movement in the United States established the first congregation of the denomination in Australia on Saint John's Road in Canley Heights. The church closed shortly before the turn of the century, and the building is now owned and used by another Christian church.
