We acknowledge that Dharug people were the first people of the Western Sydney area and have strived to retain their culture, identity and special connection with country for more than two centuries of non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander settlement. We recognise the valuable contribution made by Dharug people to the local community in working towards a future of mutual harmony and respect.

Before 1967, the question about Indigenous status was mainly used to exclude ATSI people from official population statistics as required by the Constitution at that time. This changed when the Holt government called the 1967 referendum to make two notable changes to the wording of the Australian Constitution – to recognise ATSI people so the government could pass laws relating to them, and to include ATSI people in official population statistics. Since the 1971 Census, the Indigenous status question has been used to understand ATSI sociodemographic outcomes and observe how their situations are changing over time. It is also used to inform policymaking such as many 1 Closing the Gap targets which are monitored using Census data (Biddle & Markham 2017; Capuano 2017). The 2016 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census showed that 649,171 people in Australia identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, equating to 2.8% of the national population. This was up from 2.5% of the national population in 2011. Over 60% of Australia’s ATSI population lived in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland. The median age for an ATSI person in Australia was 23 years, up from 21 years in 2011. ATSI people had a much younger profile than the non-Indigenous population, with more than half (53%) aged under 25 years in 2016. The proportion of ATSI young people (20 – 24 years) who completed Year 12 or equivalent increased from 37% in 2011 to 47% in 2016. ATSI people in 2016 were more likely to live in family households and were half as likely than their non- Indigenous counterparts to report an equivalised household income of $1,000 or more (20% Indigenous compared to 41% non-Indigenous). For more information, please see the ABS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population 2016 Census Data Summary. There are about 29 Aboriginal clan groups of the Sydney metropolitan area, with most generally acknowledging that the Dharug people occupy the inland area from Parramatta to the Blue Mountains within the Greater Western Sydney (GWS) area (See Figure 1). The larger clan grouping of Dharug people consisted of smaller clans or bands, including Burramattagal (Parramatta), Bidjigal (Castle Hill), Toogagal (Toongabbie), Cabrogal (Cabramatta), Boorooberongal (Richmond), Cannemegal (Prospect), Gomerigal-tongara (South Creek), Muringong (Camden), Cattai (Windsor), Kurrajong (Kurrajong), Boo-bain-ora (Wentworthville) and Mulgoa (Penrith) (Heiss & Gibson 2013).

(Source: Horton 1996) 2 Regionally, GWS is an area of growing national importance and has one of the fastest growing populations in Australia. It is also a region of increasing cultural and linguistic diversity, with a significant ATSI population. Aim of the paper The aim of this paper is to explore the demographic characteristics of the ATSI population in GWS, based on the ABS 2016 Census data. Regions and terms used in this report GWS is made up of the following 13 Local Government Areas (LGAs): • Blacktown • Hawkesbury • Blue Mountains • Liverpool • Camden • Parramatta • Campbelltown • Penrith • Canterbury – Bankstown • The Hills Shire • Cumberland • Wollondilly • Fairfield This paper also covers two additional LGAs, Lithgow and Wingecarribee, but are not included in GWS totals. GWS is also compared with data for Greater Sydney, Rest of Sydney, FACS Western Sydney District, FACS South Western Sydney District and New South Wales (NSW): • Greater Sydney and NSW are compiled from ABS boundaries. • Rest of Sydney is calculated by subtracting the totals of Greater Sydney with the totals of GWS. • FACS Western Sydney District (FACS WS District) is made up of Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Cumberland, Hawkesbury, Lithgow, Parramatta, Penrith and The Hills Shire LGAs. • FACS South Western Sydney (FACS SWS District) is made up of Camden, Campbelltown, Canterbury – Bankstown, Fairfield, Liverpool, Wingecarribee and Wollondilly LGAs. The term Indigenous is used in this paper to classify those who identified as Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. Those who are non-Indigenous did not identify with any of the origins above. In addition, the term Indigenous household describes any household that had at least one person of any age as a resident at the time of the Census who identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. Overall, these terms have been chosen for ease when comparing Census data between Indigenous and non-Indigenous households and populations. All data tables are based on place of usual residence, unless otherwise stated. A note about GWS boundary changes Changes in the GWS boundary have occurred over time due to LGA amalgamations in the eastern part of the region in 2016. Time series analysis on Indigenous population change in GWS from 2006 – 2016 can easily be undertaken as this data is available (with updated LGA boundaries)

The purpose of the petition is to creatively showcase the history and culture of the local Aboriginal community along the Cooks River and to publicly acknowledge the role of Pemulwuy as “father of local Aboriginal resistance”. The action petitioned for was expressed in the following terms: “We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge Inner West Council in conjunction with Council’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group (A&TSIRG) to designate the walk between the Aboriginal Interpretive Sites along the Cooks River parks in Marrickville as the Pemulwuy Trail and produce an information leaflet to explain the sites and the Aboriginal connection to the Cooks River (River of Goolay’yari).” A total of 60 signatures have been collected on the petition attached.

Introduction Australian Plants Society – New South Wales Ltd has fostered and promoted the appreciation, study and participation in growing and propagating Australian native plants since 1958. There are over 1640 members as well as 800 subscribers, 41 of whom are overseas institutions of learning. Environmental biosecurity has not received the attention enjoyed by agriculture biosecurity, yet the cost of dealing with weeds and other environmental pests becomes higher the longer they are allowed to spread, until they can no longer be eradicated. Environmental pests negatively affect our unique flora and fauna, environmental amenity and integrity, and recreation and tourism. The comprehensive report in 2007 titled ‘The Australian Weeds Strategy – A national strategy for weed management in Australia’, produced by the Australian Weeds Committee for The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council, is an excellent report, and we strongly endorse the 3 goals set out in the report, as follows: Goal 1- Prevent new weed problems Goal 2 - Reduce the impact of existing priority weed problems Goal 3 - Enhance Australia’s capacity and commitment to solve weed problems 1 The Australian Weeds Strategy makes the following point: “Weeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australia. Of the 2700 species of introduced plants now established [in 2007], 429 have been declared noxious or are under some form of legislative control in Australia.

The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.
