The parish covers the local government area of Georges River Council (in the southeast), the western part of Bayside Council (formerly the City of Rockdale) in the northeast, and the eastern part of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown (formerly the City of Canterbury) in the northwest.

The name of the parish is used as the region name today, although most customary uses of the region name refer to the part of the parish that lies in Georges River Council and Bayside Council, and not the part of the parish that lies in the City of Bankstown-Canterbury.[2]
