APEC Australia 2007 was composed of a series of political meetings held around Australia between the 21 member economies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. These meetings culminated in Leaders Week, where the heads of government of each member economy attended Sydney, New South Wales from 2 to 9 September, 2007. The New South Wales government declared September 7 a public holiday that encompassed the Sydney metropolitan area, including Penrith, Camden and Campbelltown, so that people would be kept away from the inner city "to assist with the smooth operation of the APEC event".
