The Local Government Area (LGA) Liveability Scorecards have been prepared by the Australian Urban Observatory (AUO) in partnership with the Health Promotion Unit, Sydney Local Health District, and Northern Sydney Local Health District. They are designed to understand the liveability of individual suburbs, within an LGA, and prioritise future actions and investments of interest to councils, community, urban planners, developers, and other decision makers to achieve healthier and more liveable places across an entire LGA.

Burwood, Inner West, Canterbury-Bankstown, Strathfield and Canada Bay.
The LGA Liveability Scorecard includes AUO indicators measuring overall liveability, walkability, social infrastructure, public transport, healthy food, alcohol, public open space, local employment and housing affordability[1]. For each indicator, suburb level results are compared to the LGA average to understand place-based livability strengths and areas needing future prioritisation and action. All AUO indicators align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals[2].
