With a history now spanning three centuries and with a resident population representative of Australia as a whole, the City of Botany Bay has retained and grown its strong local community spirit and never allowed itself to be overshadowed by our neighbours.

While we may be part of the Sydney metropolitan area, our residents are proud to be able to say that they come from the City of Botany Bay.

Via this web site, you are able to access information on all the services and activities this City provides its residents and those with whom we do business.

Your can browse through our history, see how our City is governed and get details of those elected to serve the local community.

There's also a full community directory on services we provide, from the very young to our senior citizens.

Our libraries, parks and gardens, sporting fields, the Botany Big Splash and all Council's departments are listed in the pages you can access on this site. There's also provision for feedback, because we want to hear your opinions.

You can view all the business papers of Council and Committee meetings and, via our innovative WEBCAST you can see and hear our Council and Committee meetings.

In our State of the Environment report, you will be able to appreciate both our Council's concern for protection of our local environment and the actions we take to ensure that protection.

You will be able to view our plans of how the City will be developed in the coming years - through our Regional and Local Environmental Plans and the special plans we have for areas such as the Mascot Station Precinct.

This is a dynamic City and one that looks forward to a firm, prosperous and secure future.

Here, we take the best of the past, enforce strict environmental and planning policies, and provide a level of service that our residents not only expect but which enhances their lives. These aspirations underpin Council's policies and planning strategies to ensure that all our residents remain proud to be associated with the City of Botany Bay.
