Editing Municipality of Strathfield (section)

==Culture==
The population of Strathfield is made up of a number of ethnic groups, and about 48% of the population born overseas. As a result, there are a number of services for newly arrived immigrants and overseas students who live in the area. Two such organisations are the Russian Ethnic Community Council of NSW Inc (RECNSW), and the Sydney Tamil Resource Centre Inc (STRC). RECNSW provides access to information and referral to mainstream services to recent immigrants of Russian and [[Russian language|Russian speaking]] background and disseminates information to remote and offshore areas on a number of issues.{{Clarify|date=June 2011}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.russiansinaustralia.org.au/RECC_documents/Info_serv.htm|title=Information & Referral|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040810214018/http://www.russiansinaustralia.org.au/RECC_documents/Info_serv.htm|archive-date=10 August 2004|df=dmy-all}}</ref> STRC provides resources to [[Tamil people|Tamil]] immigrants. A number of the commercial centres in the Municipality of Strathfield feature concentrations of restaurants and shops with ethnically distinct character, such as the concentration of Korean restaurants and shops in the Strathfield town centre, and Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants and shops in the Flemington village centre. The Homebush village centre features cafes and restaurants serving a variety of cuisines (such as Chinese, Korean, Indian, Greek and Lebanese).

Strathfield also has a number of community centres, including a [[Rotary club]], Latvian theatre, Lantern Club, and libraries. The local Rotary club provides support to the community and has a number of projects in the area,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rotarnet.com.au/strathfield |title=Rotary Club of Strathfield |access-date=20 January 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311045818/http://www.rotarnet.com.au/strathfield/ |archive-date=11 March 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> as well as a Musical Society (part of Rotary?), which normally produces two shows a year in the Latvian Theatre in Strathfield.
