About Eastlakes

Eastlakes is a suburb in south-eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Eastlakes is located 8 kilometres south-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Botany Bay, and is part of the Eastern Suburbs region. Eastlakes is mostly residential with a shopping centre located at Evans Avenue. Eastlakes takes its name from the extensive lake system on its southeast and its location in the Eastern Suburbs. The area was once known as Botany Swamps. This was Sydney's third source of water when water was pumped from here to a reservoir in Paddington from 1859. The lakes were partly reclaimed from the swamp to create the Lakes Golf Course and Sydney Airport extensions. Part of the suburb is on the former site of the Rosebery Racecourse, which was redeveloped in the 1960s into a residential and commercial area. Part of the racecourse area is now the site of a park with a memorial to local soldiers who trained on that site during both world wars.
