Established in 1973, the Mt Druitt-St Marys Standard serves a rapidly expanding and culturally rich area of Western Sydney and has been the preferred newspaper in the region for more than 30 years.

Its distribution boundaries take in part of the Penrith Council local government area to the west and a large section of Blacktown Council's administrative area to the east.

The Mt Druitt-St Marys Standard, published on a Wednesday, is the leading source of local news, views and events in the area. Regular sections include: Home Living for home renovation and improvement; SteppingOut is the definitive guide to local entertainment, CARSguide for all your motoring and automotive needs; Real Estate, Sport and a weekly finance section, Your Money.

With the third-fastest population growth in NSW, the Blacktown region is in high demand from homebuyers and business people. Numerous housing, commercial and industrial developments are having a huge impact on the growth of Western Sydney.

The Westlink M7 has consolidated the area’s strategic position, providing direct access for motorists and businesses to major residential and employment areas.

The Mt Druitt-St Marys Standard recognises the needs and achievements of this fast-growing community and is constantly increasing its loyal readership comprising people from almost 50 different cultural and racial backgrounds.
