Western Sydney is a very general, informal, term which is used to describe the western parts of the metropolitan area of Sydney, Australia.
The local government areas of Parramatta, Blacktown, Penrith, Holroyd, Fairfield, Liverpool would generally be considered to comprise "Western Sydney".
SYDNEY's public transport system is failing a third of the city's population and some of its most needy residents, prompting calls for money spent on motorways to be diverted to local services.
WesternSydney was the most disadvantaged region, but there were problems even in areas serviced by rail, such as Granville, Bankstown and Villawood.
WesternSydney had a higher rate of vehicle ownership than the rest of the city, but 10.9 per cent of households still had no car.
