WHEN The Daily Telegraph launched Fair Go for the West four years ago, we had a simple ambition: Focus our politicians squarely on Sydney’s burgeoning but underfunded and under-loved western suburbs.
Touch their hearts, tweak their minds and pull on their purse strings. In short, strongarm policymakers to get fair dinkum about Sydney’s West — start planning and get spending.
During our Go West event at the Bankstown Sports Club last year, then premier Mike Baird, a genuine champion of the West, pleaded with The Daily Telegraph: We hear you, you were right, the West has been neglected, we’re paying attention now, the change has come.

The advocacy, with the strong backing of key partners determined to fight for a better Sydney, delivered genuine outcomes from Badgerys Creek airport to the relocation of the Powerhouse Museum.
But the West’s problems are Sydney’s problems, and the solutions stretch beyond the West into suburbs far into the city’s north across to the suburbs of the south.

Today we launch the first part of our Project Sydney campaign, which will focus on alleviating the pressure points in all parts of Sydney — from gridlocked commuters in the north and south to stressed out hospitals and overstretched classrooms.
Project Sydney will turn attention to our great human challenge; job creation, particularly for young Australians, and how we can band together to stitch a seam from schools through tertiary education and training into the workforce, with real jobs and bold ambitions.
Sydney is our only world city, the intellectual and spiritual heart of our nation. Every visitor wants to come here and everyone looking for a new home wants to live here.
It is also our most complex city.
Nothing is easy in Sydney and, for the most part, that’s how we like it.
But, with our partners, Western Sydney University, Harvey Norman, TAFE NSW, Crown, I Want Work Experience, and Bankstown Sports Club, we will relentlessly campaign to urge our leaders to be brave and back a brighter and more brilliant future.
