About Daceyville
Daceyville is a small, historic suburb in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, located approximately 7 kilometres south of the CBD within the former Botany Bay local government area (now Randwick City). With a population of around 1,150 (2021 Census) and a median age of 56, it is one of the oldest planned garden suburbs in Australia, established in 1912 as a model housing estate for returned soldiers. The suburb has a strong community feel with a mix of social housing and private residences, and a notably older demographic.
Daceyville sits adjacent to the iconic Centennial Parklands, offering residents easy access to expansive green spaces, cycling paths, and sporting facilities. The suburb is close to the University of New South Wales, Randwick Racecourse, and the bustling shopping precincts of Kingsford and Eastgardens. Its heritage streetscapes, mature trees, and quiet residential character make it an appealing pocket suburb for those seeking tranquility close to the city.
Daceyville falls under postcode 2032 and is governed by Botany Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maroubra electorate.
