The City of Botany Bay is a Local Government Area in south eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It encompasses the suburbs to the north of Botany Bay, such as Botany. The administrative centre is located at Mascot, which is 7km south of the Sydney central business district. Before 1996, the city was known as the Municipality of Botany.
The State Emergency Service unit attached to the Botany Bay City Council area was disbanded in August 2006 when all members of the unit walked out after an ongoing dispute over funding with the local council came to a head. In the event of a storm or flood emergency, the Botany Bay Council area is now serviced by volunteers from Randwick
