Liverpool is one of the most dynamic and culturally diverse cities in NSW. The LGA is one of the largest Council areas in Sydney and is expecting to increase its population by 135,000 (75%) by 2036.

Liverpool CBD is a major commercial centre within the southwest region of Greater Sydney and serves as the regional centre for the Local Government Areas of:  

The region has a total population in the order of 800,000 which is expected to grow to 925,000 by 2016 and to 1.25 million by 2031. Liverpool and Camden LGAs are expected to experience the highest growth of all LGAs in NSW over the next 20 years with a significant proportion of this growth occurring by 2016. After Blacktown, Liverpool is projected to become the second most populous Local Government Area in NSW. Liverpool has been identified as one of the river cities in the Metropolitan Strategy together with Penrith and Parramatta.

It is planned that a full range of business, government, retail, cultural, entertaining and recreational activities will be provided in or near to the City centre. The southwest growth centre identified in the Metropolitan Strategy (located 10km west of Liverpool) will contribute a substantial proportion of the new population in the region and Liverpool Hospital will be the major health facility servicing this area.

The development of the area is guided by the Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 2008, Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 and other planning policy documentation.
