Overview

Kotara lies just 9 km north of Newcastle’s central business district and straddles the City of Newcastle and City of Lake Macquarie. At the 2021 census the suburb counted 3,980 residents, the majority Australian‑born. Originally planned as a garden suburb, Kotara offers a mix of high‑quality homes that have grown steadily since the post‑war boom of 1947.

Retail is a focal point, with Westfield Kotara and the adjacent Kotara Home Centre providing a wide range of shops and food outlets. Families benefit from Kotara South Public School and St James Primary School, while several nearby parks, including Kotara Park and Lugar Park, add green space. The Kotara railway station, just 0.2 km away, links residents to Newcastle and surrounding areas, supporting a convenient, lifestyle‑focused community.
