Greater Sydney is the most populous metropolitan area in Australia and Oceania. It is located in the state of New South Wales, and encompasses the Sydney city metropolis itself (the state capital of New South Wales) and her surrounding regions. It covers an area stretching from the Hawkesbury River to the Northern Beaches regions in the north, to the Blue Mountains in the west, and the Wollondilly, Campbelltown, and Sutherland regions in the south.[2][3]
Under the NSW Greater Cities Commission (formally the Greater Sydney Commission), the Greater Sydney Region along with Newcastle, the Central Coast, and Wollongong, will constitute a Sandstone Mega-region that will make-up 70% of the NSW population and 25% of the national population.[4]
