Canley Heights is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 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.
Canley Heights takes its name from its sister-suburb down the hill, Canley Vale. When Sir Henry Parkes settled there in the mid-19th century, he named his home Canley Grange, after his birthplace Canley Moat House in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, England.
In 1859, 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 St Johns Road in Canley Heights. The church closed shortly before the turn of the 20th century, and the building is now owned and used by another Christian church.
Canley Heights mostly consists of low-density residential and commercial developments. Its commercial area is centred on Canley Vale Road, the main street in the suburb, which features convenient stores and dollar stores. The main street also primarily features ethnic restaurants (generally Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai). There is also Westpac and Commonwealth bank in the street.
