Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC), the peak body representing councils in the Western Sydney region, has issued a detailed 2025 Federal Election Issues Brief urging federal politicians to deliver a fairer deal for Western Sydney.

The call comes in the lead-up to the 2025 federal elections.

Western Sydney is growing at an unprecedented rate. By 2036, more than half of Sydney’s population will live west of Parramatta, and Greater Western Sydney’s population is set to surge from 2.4 million today to 4.1 million by 2041.

To tackle the pressures arising out of such rapid growth, WSROC members have identified 10 priorities that the next federal government must address.
