About Botany
Botany is an inner-south suburb with industrial heritage, where nearly 13,000 residents live near significant port and airport infrastructure. The new light rail improves connectivity, and proximity to both CBD and beaches adds convenience. The surprisingly high median income reflects recent gentrification.
Local shopping is limited but improving. Botany Bay's beaches and the botanic wetlands provide recreation. The suburb attracts workers in port and airport industries, plus professionals seeking value near beaches. It's industrial Sydney going residential—changing, convenient, and increasingly desirable.
Botany falls under postcode 2019 and is governed by Botany Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maroubra electorate.
