Penrith, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
Penrith extends across a vast area 50 kilometers west of Sydney, featuring the Nepean River and numerous residential neighborhoods stretching from east to west.
The region transformed from indigenous Darug territory to an established municipality in 1871, later merging with St Marys and Castlereagh municipalities in 1949.
The Penrith Regional Gallery maintains a collection of Australian art while hosting exhibitions that reflect the artistic development of Western Sydney communities.
The administrative center operates fifteen council members across three wards, managing services for over 217,000 residents through dedicated municipal departments.
The Civic Centre, completed in 1993, incorporates design elements from architect Feiko Bouman that reflect the geographical connection to the Blue Mountains.
