About Tascott

Tascott is a peaceful suburb on the Central Coast of New South Wales, nestled on the western shore of Brisbane Water between Gosford and Woy Woy, approximately 77 kilometres north of Sydney. With a population of around 1,675 residents and an area of just over 2 square kilometres, it is a compact, tightly settled community framed by water on one side and the Brisbane Water National Park on the other. The suburb sits within the Central Coast Council local government area and takes its name from early settler Thomas Alison Scott, who established a farming property here in the 19th century.

Tascott offers an idyllic, semi-rural lifestyle with scenic waterfront walking and cycling paths along Brisbane Water, abundant bushwalking in the adjacent national park, and a safe, family-friendly character. The suburb has its own railway station on the Central Coast and Newcastle Line, making commuting to Sydney or Newcastle viable for residents. Local families appreciate the proximity to Point Clare Public School, the calm residential streets, and the strong sense of community that defines this quiet corner of the Central Coast.

Tascott falls under postcode 2250 and is governed by Central Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gosford electorate.
