Boolaroo, located in the Lake Macquarie region of New South Wales, is a historic suburb with a rich industrial past, particularly tied to the former Pasminco lead and zinc smelter. Situated just 15 kilometers west of Newcastle, it offers a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Boolaroo is known for its tight-knit community, access to Lake Macquarie's scenic waterfront, and proximity to amenities like schools, parks, and shopping centers. While the suburb has worked to address its environmental legacy from the smelter, it remains a suburban area with a focus on family living and outdoor activities.
