About Randwick
The City of Randwick is a local government area located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the east and Botany Bay to the south. Covering approximately 36 square kilometers, the region is characterized by its coastal topography, including notable beaches such as Coogee, Maroubra, and Clovelly. The LGA is home to a diverse population, with residents benefiting from proximity to the Sydney Central Business District, major educational institutions like the University of New South Wales, and significant public health facilities including the Prince of Wales Hospital.
The area is historically significant as the traditional land of the Cadigal people of the Eora Nation. Following European settlement in the 19th century, the region evolved from a collection of rural estates into a prominent residential and recreational hub. Its heritage is marked by iconic landmarks such as the Randwick Racecourse, established in the 1830s, and a variety of Victorian and Federation-era architecture. Today, Randwick maintains a balance between its maritime heritage and its role as a contemporary urban center, supported by extensive parklands, regional shopping precincts, and a well-connected public transport network.
