Partners & Supporters

Real change requires collaboration.

The challenges facing Greater Western Sydney — housing affordability, infrastructure gaps, transport inequality, youth opportunity, and regional disadvantage — are too complex for any one organisation to solve alone.

GWSAN exists to bring together people, organisations, institutions, professionals, and communities who want to help shape a fairer and more connected future for the region.

We are building a growing network of collaborators across:

• community organisations

• universities

• advocacy groups

• planners and built environment professionals

• researchers

• local government

• social impact organisations
