About Bennetts Green

Bennetts Green is a small locality in the City of Lake Macquarie LGA, positioned approximately 14 kilometres south-west of Newcastle and 5 kilometres south of Charlestown in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. Covering around 4.5 km², the locality sits between the more established suburbs of Gateshead, Windale, and Jewells, and is close to the popular coastal headland at Redhead. The 2021 Census recorded a population of zero, indicating the area functions primarily as open land rather than an active residential community.

Although Bennetts Green itself is largely unpopulated, it is surrounded by established Lake Macquarie suburbs offering a full range of suburban amenities, including the Charlestown Square shopping centre, schools, and Lake Macquarie's extensive waterfront. The nearby Redhead Beach and Dudley Beach are popular destinations for surf and coastal recreation, while the area's green spaces contribute to the broader greenway network of Lake Macquarie. Future residential development on the fringes of the locality may see population growth as Lake Macquarie continues to expand.

Bennetts Green falls under postcode 2290 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Swansea electorate.
