A Better Future - It’s Up to Us!

The Committee for Sydney (CFS) has a proud history of influencing debates on the future of Sydney. Its membership is both expert in the city’s issues and passionate about its destiny. A moment has arrived when, with a new state government and a federal government which has reshaped its policies for cities, there is an opportunity for a re-energised Committee to influence the agenda for Sydney to maximise its potential – and not just for Sydney-siders but for the nation. In making this great city greater still, we benefit all of Australia. Sydney produces some 20% of the wealth of Australia and two-thirds that of New South Wales. It is Australia’s only global city. A successful Sydney is vital to the health of the Australian economy. What happens here matters.
