Penrith has been named as host city of next year’s Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Annual Conference.

LGNSW President Cr Darriea Turley AM said Penrith was the perfect host city for next year’s conference.

“We’re thrilled that Penrith will host the 2025 LGNSW Annual Conference. It’s a wonderfully vibrant city that has exceptional facilities and is also committed to a sustainable future,” Turley said.

“The Western Sydney Conference Centre, with its capacity to host up to 1500 delegates, is a fantastic venue for this important gathering.

“I know that the Mayor of Penrith, Cr Todd Carney, the council team and the entire Penrith community will be warm and generous hosts.”

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said it would be an honour to welcome delegates to the City of Penrith for the conference in 2025.

“With Western Sydney International Airport and the metro railway opening in just two years, the City of Penrith is at the heart of one of Australia’s fastest growing regions,” Carney said.

“It is an incredibly exciting time for our city and the scale of the transformation is like nothing we’ve seen before.

“The unprecedented investment in Western Sydney is bringing development and employment opportunities across a vast range of industries.

“Penrith Council is embracing the opportunities to get it right for our community – setting up a legacy for future generations.”

Carney said he was looking forward to showing off Penrith to attendees.

“When we’re not in the conference sessions, I’ll be inviting delegates to take in the natural beauty of Penrith, especially the trails along the Nepean River which flow through the heart of our city,” he said.

“We also have strong creative and performing arts, and great dining, as well as thrilling adrenaline attractions and fascinating historical treasures.

“I can’t wait to welcome conference delegates to Penrith.”

The 2025 LGNSW Annual Conference is scheduled to take place from November 23 to 25.
