South
Sydney was brought back into the city
in 1982, but became separate again under
the City of Sydney Act of 1988 and then
became smaller than its original size
at 6.19 km². It grew again in February,
2004 with the merger of the two council
areas, and now has a population of approximately
170,000 people. The City of Sydney is
a major supporter of the Sydney Peace
Prize. The coat of arms of SydneyAs noted
above, the electoral boundary of the City
of Sydney have been significantly altered
by state governments on at least four
occasions since 1945, with advantageous
effect to the governing party in the New
South Wales Parliament at the time. Successive
State governments of both major parties,
the Labor Party and the Liberal Party,
have re-drawn the electoral boundaries
to include inner suburbs that are traditionally
supportive of them, and to exclude suburbs
that are traditionally hostile.
