Planning a bright future for Western Sydney

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.

It's about time we all had a say in how our lives and communities will be in twenty years' time and beyond.  That's why Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) has 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.

Through this web site we are asking people to tell us of their hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future. Our expert panel will turn that information into an integrated picture of what life could be like in Western Sydney.

That way the people of Western Sydney will be able to see clearly whether or not policy proposals and promises made by politicians will make life better or not.

 

Comment of the day

what about the T-card system for transport? we were about to have the system, i have seen some asian cities using the system claimed it efficient. and i just cant understand that our gov drop the plan when it was all ready to go. the new ticketing system we have now is a bit better than the old one in some way, but in other ways, it's lot more expensive and they are still very far behind the t-card or smart card system. strongly supporting the gov who get the smart card system for transport running again....and please dont waist the tax payer's money on doing some thing then drop it... !!!
