Cumberland City

Cumberland City is a local government area in Western Sydney that encompasses suburbs like Merrylands, Guildford, Auburn, and Greystanes. The region covers around 72 square kilometers and is home to more than 235,000 residents.

The local government area was established on May 12, 2016, through the merger of portions from Auburn City, Parramatta City's Woodville Ward, and Holroyd City. This consolidation created a new regional administration structure in Western Sydney.

The area maintains close connections with the Darug Nation and actively supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through various programs. These relationships shape how people in the region live and interact with one another.

The council has its headquarters in Merrylands and provides various services including waste management and permit processing. Visitors can access administrative services there or learn about local offerings available across the region.

The area operates a Mobile Community Recycling Service that brings recycling directly to different parts of the region. Additionally, the council runs specialized composting programs that help residents reduce waste in their own communities.
