The suburb boundary is located along Marshall Mount Creek to the north and Macquarie Rivulet to the east. The Illawarra Highway, property boundaries and fire trails provide the boundary that makes up the entire southern boundary and property boundaries and the Macquarie Pass National Park provides the western boundary.

The Princes Motorway and rail line corridor run parallel together to the east of the suburb (north to south) separating the suburb area from the local airport and Lake Illawarra.  Calderwood Road provides local road access (north to south) and connects the local road network found throughout Calderwood. Escarpment Drive and Marshall Mount Road provide north and south connections to surrounding suburbs. 

The narrow suburb of Calderwood is located south-west of Wollongong and primarily rural land holdings, with Calderwood found to contain the eastern portion of the Macquarie Pass National Park and rural residential properties. The suburb does not have a business district, though contains a large golf course in the north and a new urban development area to the south.

The Calderwood boundary was officially extended in 2016, with the council proposing to expand the locality of Calderwood to encompass North Macquarie and the northern part of Tullimbar, Development in Calderwood will stretch into the proposed new boundary and the site has been known to the community as Calderwood or Calderwood Valley for the duration of its rejuvenation.

Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Plan 2036 and 2041

The Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Plan (ISRP) was released in 2021 and provides the strategic framework for future growth in the Region over the next 20 years. Since then, the NSW Government has delivered further documents, including the State Infrastructure Strategy 2018-2038, Future Transport 2056, A 20-year Economic Vision for Regional NSW and NSW South Coast Marine Tourism Strategy 2019. 

The Regional Plan was revised in 2021 and identifies 15 regionally significant precincts that will drive jobs creation, housing diversity, and vibrant communities. These places contain more than 2,300 hectares for employment, hubs for recreation, culture, housing, and innovation, as well as almost 45,000 jobs, and growth areas.

The regional cities of Shellharbour and Nowra align with the vision for the Illawarra Shoalhaven to serve as a central hub for business, government, and culture. They are envisioned as gathering places for civic events, community engagement, and social gatherings, while also serving as attractive destinations for visitors. Both regional cities are strategically situated adjacent to the regionally significant growth areas of West Lake Illawarra and Nowra Bomaderry. 

Collectively, these areas comprise the largest urban expansion areas in regional New South Wales, with a combined capacity for 37,600 housing lots. The residents settling in these regions will rely on the regional cities for employment opportunities, access to healthcare and educational services, and recreational activities.

The Regional Plan outlined that a major regional land release area in the West Lake Illawarra growth area includes Calderwood in the most southern area.

It anticipates changes to create a favourable future for residents and visitors, encompassing land use planning strategies to preserve the city's unique identity

The planning statement outlines that the Shellharbour City Council estimates the population will be approximately 100,000 people and needs to provide about 15,000 dwellings and an additional population of about 27,000 people once fully developed over 20 plus years. A release plan was also prepared to stage out the proposed land availability to ensure services, infrastructure and community services were included in all new urban redevelopment.
