FAQs about Top Filming Locations in Sydney
There are many amazing and iconic locations among the city's beaches, architectural wonders and blue mountains. One local favourite is the intersection of Marrickville and Victoria Roads which is rich in visual appeal. For a more historic look, consider Bare Island or the harbour neighbourhood near Nielsen Park. The park’s nearby green lawns and surrounding historic mansions are also great for filming. Other natural landmarks such as Bondi Beach and The Rocks are popular for seaside shoots. For an urban industrial vibe, consider the White Bay Power Station and the surrounding area. Also check out the cafes, multicultural restaurants and cocktail bars of Darlinghurst for locations filled with energy and striking perspective.
Depending on the complexity of the shoot, expect application costs for city locations to start around $200 and reach upwards of $1000. Costs for filming in state parks will range between $600 to $2700. Other costs must be factored into this location hire as well, including costs for street closures, parking, insurance, etc. For privately-owned locations in Sydney, you will need a film release, and costs will vary widely depending on the size and standard of the location. (All data according to Tagvenue.com)
It is important to plan how many people and equipment you will bring with you. Especially if you are filming in organic locations such as restaurants where equipment hire isn’t possible. A good filming location should have friendly, helpful staff, a good location and (if it is a studio) access to a wide range of professional equipment. Remember to check if your venue provides other necessary facilities.

Are There Affordable Filming Locations In Sydney?
Yes! Here are three standout affordable filming locations in Sydney that keep costs low without compromising on character, style, or utility:
1. Metronome Studios – Inner West
Price: $40/hour
Location: Inner West, Sydney
Compact, functional, and ideal for small shoots or content creators flying solo. This space gives you privacy, simplicity, and solid value — a true hidden treasure for budget-conscious productions.

- Natural light conditions
- Equipment setup space
