Western Parkland City Authority

The Western Parkland City is the economic powerhouse of Greater Sydney, generating more than $56 billion GDP per year through industry sectors including manufacturing, freight and logistics, health, tourism and agribusiness. From the Blue Mountains, to Camden, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Hawkesbury, Liverpool, Penrith and Wollondilly, it boasts incredible cultural diversity, natural assets and a thriving small business sector. It's not hard to see why the Western Parkland City is a place of growth and opportunity: it possesses all the ingredients and the momentum. It's why all three levels of government are investing over $20 billion in its future. Its future is being fast-tracked with the expansion of the Western City & Aerotropolis Authority (WCAA), now operating as the Western Parkland City Authority (WPCA). With a broader boundary, the WPCA brings a renewed focus on expansive collaboration between local, state and federal governments. Our task is to ensure we are jointly planning and delivering the best possible outcomes in infrastructure, liveability, investment, job growth and sustainability for business and communities.
