Region. Identity overshadowed

The global dominance of images of Sydney that are based in Eastern Sydney over shadow the identity of Western Sydney. “It is extraordinary that although Western Sydney comprises the majority of Sydney’s land footprint, is home for over half of Sydney’s population and is Australia’s third largest city, it does not have a strong identity in its own right – or comprise part of the identity of Sydney,” according to a report prepared for the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) by Strategies for Change and ARUP.
