It is located north of Bringelly and needs a new name to reflect its new future.<br \/>\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said the naming process to be carried out will find a unique name which will forever define Australia\u2019s first 22nd Century City on the doorstep of the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.<br \/>\n\u201cUntil now we have been referring to the area as the \u2018Aerotropolis Core\u2019, but with the city quickly moving from a vision to a reality now is the time for it to be given a real place name,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.<br \/>\n\u201cThe area to be named is the parcel of land which will be the CBD of the Aerotropolis and we want its name to be as iconic as the existing major city centres of \u2018Sydney\u2019 and \u2018Parramatta\u2019.<br \/>\n\u201cWhatever it is ultimately called after the naming process, this part of Greater Sydney\u2019s third city will be a key driver of economic growth, jobs and opportunities across NSW and the nation for generations to come.\u201d<br \/>\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said as part of the naming process the community will be consulted and asked to nominate potential names for the new city.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want the community to help us come up with a list of names that reflect the area\u2019s heritage, recognise people who have contributed to NSW or honour significant figures with ties to Western Sydney,\u201d Mr Ayres said.<br \/>\n\u201cA naming committee comprising of the Premier, myself, DPC Secretary Tim Reardon and Western Parkland City Authority Chair Jennifer Westacott will consider the options and make a final decision.\u201d<br \/>\nTo find out more and submit your suggestion go to:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcaa.sydney\/nametheplace\">www.wcaa.sydney\/nametheplac<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Western Sydney community will be given the chance to have their say on part of the naming of Sydney\u2019s third city, which will be the beating heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
