Greater Western Sydney - Sub-regions

Sub-regions

GWS Councils agree on the broad definition of Greater Western Sydney but divide the region based on their Regional Organisations of Councils. The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) includes Auburn Council, City of Bankstown, City of Blacktown, City of Blue Mountains, City of Fairfield, City of Hawkesbury, City of Holroyd, City of Liverpool, City of Parramatta and City of Penrith. The Macarthur Regional Organisation of Councils (MACROC) includes Camden Council, City of Campbelltown and Wollondilly Shire.

The New South Wales Department of Planning's Metropolitan Strategy divides Greater Western Sydney into three sub-regions:

• North-West: City of Blacktown, City of Blue Mountains, City of Hawkesbury, and City of Penrith.
• South-West: Camden Council, City of Campbelltown, City of Liverpool and Wollondilly Shire.
• West Central: Auburn Council, City of Bankstown, City of Fairfield, City of Holroyd and City of Parramatta.
