The
City of Sydney comprises the Sydney central
business district and surrounding Inner
West suburbs of the greater metropolitan
area of Sydney, Australia. It is a Local
Government Area (LGA), and on 6 February
2004, the former LGA of the City of South
Sydney was formally merged into the City
of Sydney. Suburbs within the boundaries
of the City of Sydney before the merger
include the actual downtown or central
business district of Sydney itself, Pyrmont
and Ultimo to the west, Haymarket to the
south and Woolloomooloo to the east and
other suburbs. The CBD is roughly bounded
by Circular Quay and the Harbour to the
north, Macquarie Street to the east, the
Western Distributor to the west and Liverpool
Street to the south. Suburbs within the
City of South Sydney before the merger
included Alexandria, Darlington (now mostly
occupied by the University of Sydney),
Erskineville, Newtown, Redfern, Glebe,
Waterloo, Paddington.

Lower George Street, Sydney in about 1828The
"City of Sydney" was established
in 1842 by the Corporation Act which encompasses
present-day Woolloomooloo, Surry Hills,
Chippendale and Pyrmont, an area of 11.65
km². There were six wards established
by boundary posts. A boundary post still
exists in front of Sydney Square. The
boundaries of the City of Sydney have
changed fairly regularly since 1900. The
Municipality of Camperdown was merged
with the city in 1909. Added in 1949 were
Alexandria, Darlington, Erskineville,
Newtown, Redfern, Glebe, Waterloo, and
Paddington. In 1968 the boundaries were
changed and many of these suburbs moved
to be part of a new municipality of South
Sydney.
