By 2030, over one million new people are expected to call Greater Western Sydney home. Currently over 47% Sydney's residents live in the West or 10% of Australia's total population. It delivers over $100 billion to the economy and represents more than 8% of Australia's total gross domestic product; a figure that would put Western Sydney in the top 60 economies in the world if it was a stand-alone country. It is a land of unprecedented transformation and opportunity.
We know how to drive change, how to influence and how to lead the policy agenda. We give Western Sydney a powerful voice and use it to amplify the campaigns that will deliver new jobs and unlock more green spaces. We are a voice for building more infrastructure and better educational, housing, arts and cultural facilities.
there has never been a more important time for innovative thinking supported by strong public policy. Legacy precincts are being transformed into world-class facilities and booming residential development, and once-in-a-century mega projects like Western Sydney Airport and its supporting infrastructure network, are now underway.
Our mission is simple: we want Western Sydney to be the best place in Australia to live, work and invest.
How we do it?
- We work with our member group and external stakeholders to identify emerging challenges and new opportunities for Western Sydney.
- We develop policy solutions which we then recommend to government for implementation.
- We produce well-argued, compelling papers, reports and submissions to back up our advocacy.
- We undertake and commission research to ensure that positions are supported with in-depth data and analysis of current sentiment.
- We meet with politicians, their staff and public servants to put the case for Western Sydney.
- We deliver an events program that brings our member group, government and key stakeholders together to discuss the policy agenda.
- We use television, radio, print and social media to amplify our reach and stimulate public debate.
