Election Issues

WSROC's leadership role in advocating on behalf of the people of Western Sydney took a historic turn at the State election with two board members elected to state parliament.  Councillor Bart Bassett becomes the first ever Liberal member for the district of Londonderry, while Councillor Tania Mihailuk enters parliament for the district of Bankstown with the Labor Party.

Western Sydney is a patchwork of people and communities, reflecting much of Australia's diversity and experience. From towns nestled in a World Heritage Area to agricultural lands, industrial areas, low and medium density residential areas, and major business centres, Western Sydney residents hail from the four corners of the globe, bringing to Sydney and Australia a diversity of cultural and personal experiences.

Our people understand the problems the region faces, and what we need to do to create a prosperous future for our region.  That's why last year Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) created this website to allow the people who live in Western Sydney to put forward a vision for how Western Sydney should be in 2030.

Based on that feedback we've compiled a list of key issues that need to be addressed by the next government of NSW.

Read the issues the people of Western Sydney have raised as being essential to their future, and join with us to continue the discussion and create the future the region needs.

Watch the some highlights from the debate between Labor Premier, Kristina Keneally and Liberal Opposition Leader, Barry O'Farrell at WSROC a few weeks ago.
