Welcome to

Burwood Council

Identified as a major centre by the NSW Government, Burwood is set to grow significantly in the next 25 years, taking advantage of the area’s strong local economy and excellent transport infrastructure.

Council is committed not only to maximising the area’s growth, but to ensuring that Burwood remains an exciting and vibrant place to live, work and visit.

We have already completed an extensive program of public works, including improvements to Burwood Park, the Avenue of Nations and surrounding  streetscapes.

Mayor's Message

From Cr John Faker

Burwood’s cluster of restaurants, cafes and al fresco options is a unique and attractive feature of our municipality, and patrons deserve to enjoy their experience.

Unfortunately, in recent weeks, there appears to be a growing trend where what has started as a wonderful night out in the Town Centre has been soured by an encounter of unruly behaviour.
