The Strathfield Council is a local government area located in the inner west region of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.Strathfield Council was incorporated in 1885. The Council area originally included the suburbs of Redmire, Homebush and Druitt Town. The name "Strathfield" was adopted as the name of the new council upon incorporation.
