Continuing to deliver infrastructure for Western Sydney

Western Sydney is a youthful, vibrant and diverse region, and the engine room of New South Wales.

Around 2.8 million people and 472,210 households with children live across the 13 Local Government Areas of Western Sydney, representing 33 per cent of the population of New South Wales.

Western Sydney businesses account for approximately 30.1 per cent of all small businesses in New South Wales. Western Sydney is home to around 32.7 per cent of the State’s workforce, and more than 30 per cent of NSW public sector employees work in Western Sydney.

While population has grown rapidly in Western Sydney, for too long investment in infrastructure and essential services did not keep pace with this region’s growth.

This is why the NSW Government has delivered significant investments in Western Sydney’s future, including rebuilding public education and delivering better hospitals, roads and public transport to support this region’s growth. This includes opening Melonba Public and High School, Wentworth Point High School, and commencing construction on Miller Preschool, Blackett Preschool and Cabramatta West Preschool.
