Subregional planning will translate some of the objectives of the Metropolitan Strategy's "City of Cities" long-term planning blueprint to the local level. The 10 subregions of Sydney are:

• Sydney City Subregion (City of Sydney LGA)
• East Subregion (Botany Bay, Randwick, Waverly, Woollahra LGAs)
• South Subregion (Kogarah, Hurstville, Canterbury, Rockdale, Sutherland, Marrickville LGAs)
• Inner West Subregion (Ashfield, Burwood, Canada Bay, Leichhardt, Strathfield LGAs)
• Inner North Subregion (Lane Cove, North Sydney, Ryde, Willoughby, Hunters Hill, Mosman LGAs)
• North Subregion (Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai LGAs)
• North East Subregion (Pittwater, Warringah, Manly LGAs)
• West Central Subregion (Auburn, Bankstown, Fairfield, Holroyd, Parramatta LGAs)
• North West Subregion (Baulkham Hills, Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Penrith LGAs)
• South West Subregion (Wollondilly, Camden, Campbelltown, Liverpool LGAs)

A regional strategy for the Central Coast (Gosford and Wyong LGAs) has also been released and can be found by clicking here.

The Department of Planning has consulted with local government, State agencies and industry and community stakeholders when preparing the draft Subregional Strategies.
