Lindsay

Lindsay is an outer-metropolitan electorate, centred on Penrith in Western Sydney.

It is bounded by Berkshire Park and Londonderry in the north to  Mulgoa and Orchard Hills in the south, Colyton in the east and Emu Heights in the west. Suburbs also include Cambridge Park, Cambridge Gardens, Castlereagh, Claremont Meadows, Cranebrook, Emu Plains, Glenmore Park, Jamisontown, Kingswood, Leonay, Llandilo, North St Marys, Oxley Park, Penrith, Regentville, St Marys, South Penrith, Werrington, Werrington County, Werrington Downs and parts of Agnes Banks, Luddenham and Wallacia.

It bears the name of notable writer and artist Norman Lindsay (1879-1969) who lived and worked in the nearby Blue Mountains.

The electorate of Lindsay takes in approximately 339 square kilometres of Western Sydney and boasts a voting population of

more than 90,000 people.

The electorate of Lindsay has a young population. At the last census, the 0-4 year old age group was the largest within the

population. The next largest age group was the 5-9 year olds and the 25-29 year olds.

Lindsay is an agricultural centre that boasts dairy and poultry farms, fruits, vegetables, beef and turf farming. It’s also a focal point for manufacturing industries, construction, service industries and tourism.

The recent redevelopment of Penrith Plaza Westfield has given Lindsay a regional shopping centre, and the expansion of

Nepean Hospital and the creation of the University of Western Sydney, Penrith Campus at Kingswood have further diversified the electorate’s depth of character, as well as vastly improving the services available to residents.

Recent decentralisation of regional government offices including the Australian Taxation Office, have brought increased work opportunities into the electorate, and  continued development of the huge Panther’s Rugby League Club has helped initiate a tourism boom, with many people now flocking in to witness the spectacular beauty of the Nepean-Hawkesbury River, Penrith Lakes and the Blue Mountains.
