[edit] Transport

Denistone railway station is in the adjacent suburb of Denistone. Plans to build a high speed monorail link from Denistone Station to West Denistone Shopping Centre (with stations at West Ryde Bowling Club and West Denistone Park), were postponed by the NSW Government in 2009, while further studies were undertaken into the environmental impact on Darvall Park.

[edit] Commercial

The commercial and retail hub of West Denistone is the West Denistone Shopping Centre. Major tenants include a vet and the postal centre. A multi-story carpark was built as preparation for the planned monorail station; this has become known locally as a white elephant since the monorail itself is yet to be completed.

[edit] Media

The newpaper of record for the region is The Weekly Times, which is published weekly by John F Booth and carries a wide variety of advertisements, animal interest stories and unsolicited obituaries.
