Emu Heights is located 58 kilometres west from the Sydney central business district; it is under the local area government of the City of Penrith and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.

Emu Heights was established in 1831 by free settler George Innes, who had obtained 400 acres near McCanns Island. He named the area Emu Heights; however the name wasn’t officially assigned to the neighbourhood until 1976.

The suburb is just outside the Sydney metropolitan area – it sits at the foot of the Blue Mountains and is on the western side of the Nepean River.

In 1972 the Emu Heights Public School was founded and had just 87 pupils and 3 teachers. The area has parklands, sport and golfing facilities and access to the river offers fishing, swimming, canoeing and other water sports. With power boats not using this section of water it is now home to a variety of native and migratory water birds.
