Local Environmental Conditions
Set around ornamental lakes in Eastlakes near Sydney Airport, this parkland course features paperbark and eucalypt plantings around its water features, with cultivated turf and introduced trees rather than remnant bushland, reflecting its dense inner-suburban setting. Designed originally by Alister MacKenzie, the course's constructed wetlands and lakes support waterbirds amid the otherwise built-up Eastlakes and Mascot surrounds, with turf grasses and ornamental shrubs replacing what was historically coastal wallum heath and swamp country before urban and airport development transformed the area.
Ryegrass is the pollen to watch at The Lakes Golf Club, where open, well-watered fairways in Eastlakes green up through spring and push counts higher between October and December. Tree pollen from eucalypts, casuarina, birch and plane trees arrives earlier, typically from August as the broader Sydney season gets underway. The course's proximity to Botany Bay means sea breezes off the water can shift through a round, easing or concentrating pollen depending on wind direction, right through to January.

When is pollen season in Sydney?
How often is the Sydney pollen forecast updated?
The Sydney pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sydney come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Sydney based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Sydney, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
