The Auburn area was a farming area, known as "Liberty Plains". Auburn was proclaimed as a Borough on 19 February 1892. Silverwater was added in 1906. On 1 January 1949, the (by now) Municipalities of Auburn and Lidcombe were amalgamated to form the new Auburn Municipality. In 1993, a change in the law meant that "municipality" ceased to be a legal category of local government area. Auburn Municipal Council became "Auburn Council", and the same name was used to refer to the former Municipality of Auburn.〔Auburn City Council (2011) (Publication Guide ), p.4〕 A project by Auburn Council to seek city status began in April 2006. A special poll held on 13 September 2008 found a large proportion of the electorate supported the project. On 24 June 2009 Governor of New South Wales Marie Bashir issued a proclamation granting Auburn city status, which was gazetted on 17 July 2009.〔 There was controversy when the Deputy Mayor of Auburn, Selim Muhajer was charged with threatening the father of one of the victims in the 2014 Sydney Hostage Crisis. He is also being investigated in a conflict of interest when he voted on council matters regarding rezoning that he had a pecuniary interest in. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of Auburn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
