Daceyville Taxi

Daceyville is located 7 kilometres south east of the Sydney Central Business district; it is a south eastern suburb and is part of the city of Botany Bay.

Surrounded by the suburbs of Pagewood, Kingsford and Eastlakes, Daceyville is a mostly residential suburb. Named after John Rowland Dacey (1854-1912) who had been a state parliamentarian for the area from 1895-1912. He wanted the creation of a garden suburb, modelled after a suburb in London, England Letchworth.Following Dacey’s death Sir John Sulman planned an estate of low cost housing for the working class people in Australia’s first garden city – on crown land, that had been reserved as a water conservation site. In 1913 the Daceyville tram line opened which ran services from Circular Quay via Waterloo. The line closed in 1957.

Applications for a public school were made in 1913 but only an infant’s school was approved, opening in 1914 it became a primary school in 1917.
