The Municipality of Strathfield is a local government area in the inner west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

The council area was made up of parts of three existing localities: Redmire (in the northeast), Homebush (in the northwest) and Druitt Town (in the south).

The municipality today comprises an area of 14.1 square kilometres (5.4 sq mi) and as at the 2021 census had an estimated 45,593 residents.

[4] The council area is made up of residential neighbourhoods and town centres, with significant local heritage, open space, lifestyle amenities, public and private schools and access to tertiary institutions such as a campus of Australian Catholic University and the University of Sydney and TAFE Sydney Institute.

The Mayor of Strathfield Municipal Council is John-Paul Baladi, a member of the Liberal Party of Australia.

With the 1892 addition, Strathfield Municipality was divided into three wards: Flemington Ward in the west (covering the area incorporated in 1892, from Flemington station in the north to Liverpool Road in the south), Homebush Ward in the centre (covering the original council area west of Homebush Road, from Homebush station in the north to Liverpool Road in the south), and Strathfield Ward in the east (covering the remainder of the original council area, east of Homebush Road).

In return, the area of and between Boundary Creek and the railway line, occupied by the former Ford factory building, was transferred from Auburn to Strathfield Council.

Under this proposal, northern Belfield would form part of Strathfield South, from which it was separated by the Cooks River.

[19] Homebush Bay Drive bounds Strathfield Council to the north, Powells Creek, The Boulevarde and Coronation Parade bounds it to the east, Punchbowl Road and Juno Parade form the southern border and Roberts Road, Chullora rail yards, Rookwood Cemetery and the Sydney Olympic Park Rail line bound the Municipality to the west.

[25][26][27][28][29] In 2021, the median household weekly income for residents within the Municipality of Strathfield was 21% higher than the national average.

The Municipality of Strathfield has a number of heritage-listed sites, including: The council operates a main library located on Rochester Street in Homebush.

The council formerly operated a branch library on High Street in Strathfield South, which was rebuilt and opened in 2008.

The building was opened as a community centre on 3 December 2012 and named in honour of Eve Dutton who was the first female mayor of Strathfield.

As a result, there are a number of services for newly arrived immigrants and overseas students who live in the area.
