	City of Hawkesbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The City of Hawkesbury (formerly Hawkesbury Shire) is a Local Government Area of New South Wales, Australia, part of which is at the fringe of the Sydney metropolitan area, about 50 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district.
		It was first settled by Europeans in 1794 in a bid to acquire arable land to feed the increasing population of the penal colony at Sydney.
		Until recently Hawkesbury city remained largely rural, but urban expansion within Sydney has since transformed the southern part of the Shire into dormitory suburbs; the lack of quality roads and public transport is a major local issue.

	Hornsby Shire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The estimated population of Hornsby Shire as of June 2003 was 155,971 (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
		While the northern part of the Shire (via the Hawkesbury River) was visited by the first European settlers in late 1788, due to the Shire's rugged landscape permanent Europen settlement did not begin until almost half a century later.
		The main roads within the Shire are the F3 Freeway (which is managed federally), running from the Wahroonga northward to the city of Newcastle; the Pacific Highway, running from Wahroonga southward to the CBD; the Pennant Hills Road (part of Cumberland Highway), running from Hornsby westward to Parramatta; and part of the M2 tollway.

	Community expectations and perceptions of agriculture in peri-urban regions
		Hawkesbury and Wollondilly form part of the western Sydney peri-urban fringe, and while agriculture in past years has been a major contributor to the local and regional economy, its importance has declined as a result of a combination of poor industry economics and rapid urban encroachment.
		The higher return rate from Hawkesbury probably reflects extensive community debate over the future of the mushroom industry and the retention of sustainable agricultural lands coincident with the survey period.
		Hawkesbury (71%) and Wollondilly (78%) respondents saw agriculture as decreasing in importance in their area, while the corresponding figure for Mudgee was only 33%.

		Baulkham Hills Shire comprises a mix of residential, industrial (largely warehousing) and rural lands and is the local government area that predominantly impacts on the Cattai Creek catchment.
		Increasing urban development at the headwaters of the catchment has led to an increase in the volume and speed of stormwater runoff.

	The Poll Bludger
		In a potentially bad omen for Labor, the famously marginal seat of Eden-Monaro has extended westwards into Farrer in exchange for the loss of its anomalous territory to the north of the Australian Capital Territory, a knock-on effect of Farrer’s gain of Broken Hill at the expense of Parkes.
		With the addition of the Shires of Tumut and Tumbarumba, Liberal member Gary Nairn should enjoy some extra padding on his current margin of 2.2 per cent.
		However, it has not been a good redistribution for Gary Hardgrave in Moreton, who is set to trade more than 12,000 voters in one of his best areas, Algester in the south-west, for 4000 voters in inner-city Annerley to the north and 5000 around Karawatha to the south-east.
