About Mascot

Mascot has transformed from an industrial zone into Sydney's most airport-adjacent residential suburb, where over 21,000 residents accept some aircraft noise in exchange for exceptional convenience. The T8 Airport Line and the new WestConnex have improved connectivity dramatically, while high-rise development has created a new urban neighbourhood. For frequent flyers, no suburb is more convenient.

Mascot station precinct hosts modern retail and dining, while Botany Road maintains older character shops and Asian restaurants. The suburb attracts airport workers, frequent travellers, young professionals, and anyone who values connection over quiet. Yes, there's plane noiseβ€”but if you're catching flights weekly, walking to the terminal is transformative. It's a niche suburb for a specific lifestyle.

Mascot falls under postcode 2020 and is governed by Botany Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Heffron electorate.
