City of Canterbury-Bankstown

Canterbury-Bankstown is a local government area in the southern region of Sydney's metropolitan area, combining residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and parks. The region spans multiple suburbs and offers varied services and facilities for its residents.

The region was formed in 2016 through the merger of two separate city councils into a single local government area. This consolidation reshaped how governance functions across the southern part of Sydney.

The area is home to over 130 nationalities, with Chinese, Lebanese, and Greek communities shaping daily life through their shops, restaurants, and celebrations throughout the region.

The area has an extensive public transportation system with multiple rail and bus lines connecting its neighborhoods to each other and to central Sydney. These connections make it easy to get around the region.

The area hosts one of the largest concentrations of registered businesses in New South Wales and serves as a major economic center. This business activity makes the region an important economic engine for southern Sydney.
