WSROC CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
THE Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) is soon to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
It was established in November 1973 to represent the communities of Western Sydney and to advocate for the residents of the region.
Western Sydney is home to over two million people and is projected to reach four million by 2041.
WSROC represents five member councils, including Blacktown City Council, Blue Mountains City Council, Cumberland City Council, Hawkesbury City Council, and Liverpool City Council.
Over the last 50 years, WSROC has been successful in advocating for a range of issues affecting the residents of Western Sydney, including urban planning and management, public transport, roads, infrastructure, economic development, environment, employment, and community services.
Some of WSROC's campaigns and initiatives over the years include the ‘Beds to the West’ campaign, the creation of the University of Western Sydney, the creation of the Greater Western Sydney Economic Development Board, the creation of a Minister for Western Sydney in the NSW Government, the authoring of ‘Contemporary Australia – A Regional Cultural Strategy for Greater Western Sydney,’ and the securing of $5B for Western Sydney infrastructure.
