Botany Water Reserves, Heritage water reserve in Mascot, New South Wales, Australia.
The Botany Water Reserves spans 58 hectares of land, incorporating multiple golf courses, parks, and wetlands along the northern shores of Botany Bay.
From 1859 to 1886, this water reserve system served as the primary water supply for Sydney until alternative sources became necessary due to population growth.
The Aboriginal people called this area Gwea and maintained a connection to these wetlands for over 9,000 years before European settlement began.
The site contains the Lakes Golf Club and Eastlakes Golf Course, which rank among the top five golf venues in New South Wales.
The reserve preserves remnants of the original 1850s water supply Engine House and chimney, along with Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub vegetation.
