Western Sydney
This region reflects the diversity of the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment with its variety of landscapes and landuses.
The Western Sydney region includes the western portion of the Cumberland Plain (which includes 13 endangered ecological vegetation communities) and takes in South Creek as it traverses 8 local government areas of western Sydney. The escarpment above Wollongong forms a southern boundary to the region. Here the catchments for Avon, Cordeaux, Cataract and Nepean dams are protected. World Heritage Areas are part of the region in the lower portion of the Blue Mountains around Glenbrook and Blaxland. Many areas of this region were settled early in European history, establishing both farming land and important towns. Today, it is the fastest growing region of the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment as it provides homes to Sydney's expanding population.
