On Monday, I posted about the trends in population growth across Sydney as seen in the NSWEC enrolment data, with a particular focus on Camden, which has more than doubled in size over the last fourteen years. This growth in population has not been even, but has rather been concentrated at the northern end of the council, totally transforming the political geography of the area. First up, this map shows the change in the ward boundaries from 2012 until 2021. The Camden ward boundaries were changed before the 2012, 2016 and 2021 elections (ignore the 2008 layer – it’s the same as 2012). |
