The Keys to Macarthur Episode 1 - Mayor Therese Fedeli
In the debut episode of The Keys to Macarthur, Stuart Davies down with Camden Mayor Therese Fedeli — one of the most influential figures shaping the future of Sydney's southwest.
Cr Fedeli has served on Camden Council since 2012 and has been Mayor since 2019. A trailblazer in regional governance, she recently made history as the elected Chair of the Western Parkland Councils' Mayoral Forum — a unique alliance of eight councils operating in partnership with the NSW and Australian governments under the Western Sydney City Deal.
In this conversation, Stuart explores what it takes to lead one of Australia's fastest-growing regions — from major infrastructure challenges like the Oran Park rail line and Spring Farm Parkway, to community moments like the Menangle Store fire. Mayor Fedeli also opens up about her Italian heritage, her passion for getting younger people involved in local government through Rotary, and her vision for Camden over the next five years.
Whether you're a local resident, a business owner, or simply curious about what drives growth in Sydney's southwest — this episode is your inside look at the people and decisions shaping the Macarthur region.
