Most of the southern suburb of Sylvania Waters has been built on land reclaimed from Gwawley Bay on the Georges River. A series of artificial islands and canals provide waterfronts and boat ramps for many homes. This was also the location of one of the first factual/reality television series called 'Sylvania Waters', co-produced by Britain's BBC and Australia's ABC networks back in 1992, which followed the lives of a family that lived here.
