Airds, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airds is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is in the Local Government Area of Campbelltown. Its postcode is 2560. Airds is a predominantly residential area and the majority of houses within the suburb are owned by the New South Wales Department of Housing.
Like many public housing estates in Sydney, Airds was constructed based upon Radburn principles designed to separate traffic from pedestrians. As a result, houses in the suburb did not face roads, which was later found to create enormous problems relating to crime and passive surveillance in the suburb.
Airds contains the Reiby Juvenile Detention Centre. Schools within the suburb include John Warby Public School, Briar Road Public School and Airds High School. Airds today is one of the most socially disadvantaged suburbs of Sydney.
Neighbouring Suburbs are Ruse, St Helens park, Bradbury, Kentlyn, Campbelltown.
