About Pagewood

Pagewood is a residential suburb in southern Sydney, located approximately 10 kilometres south of the CBD within the City of Botany Bay local government area. With a population of around 3,885 and a median age of 42, the suburb has a mix of established families and working professionals drawn by its proximity to major employment hubs including Sydney Airport, Port Botany, and the Eastern Suburbs. The area covers just over 2 square kilometres and includes a blend of detached houses, townhouses, and medium-density dwellings.

One of Pagewood's most notable assets is its direct access to Westfield Eastgardens, one of Sydney's major regional shopping centres, located within the suburb and offering extensive retail, dining, and entertainment options. The Eastern Distributor and South Dowling Street provide good freeway connections to the CBD and airport, and several bus routes link the suburb to surrounding areas. Tree-lined streets, local parks, and a central location make Pagewood a practical and increasingly popular choice for families and commuters.

Pagewood falls under postcode 2035 and is governed by Botany Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maroubra electorate.
