Over the years there has been so many reviews by the FNSW Board which have resulted in restructures and to be quite honest those making these decisions wouldn’t know their head from their backside.
To support the above an example of this, Inter Lions SC who are part of the NWPL 2 competition have never been able to put a girls SAP team together since the introduction of Girls SAP in 2014, yet still get a license for NWPL 2 only to be able to bleed other clubs of their junior football talent.
Now work that one out.

It is very disappointing that their is no NPL options for girls and ladies in the Hills and will mean our best talent will continue to leave and play for Spartans, Koalas and others where there is NPL pathway.
Last season in the GCL Parramatta FC, St George and Rockdale City Suns all pulled the pin after the declaration of leagues and their is already rumour now that some clubs / organisations are considering their future.

Dunbar, Pagewood and Eastern Suburbs know that they cannot attract enough players for 3 teams from the same part of Sydney. One will fold (won't be Dunbar).
Hills may have trouble filling a 17s team in that it is a road to nowhere. Once they turn 18 it is back to association football and all they have done in that one year of reps is pay a lot of money and drive a lot of kilometres. (Please don't say the 18 year olds can get in a senior PL2 team. The 18 year olds who are already seasoned PL2 players are struggling to get a position in those teams).

How would the Girls Conference League compare to playing Girls Youth League in the Hills Association ? Is the Girls Conference League considered a stepping stone to NPL and a better standard for those who missed out and would like another go at being selected in an NPL team ?

Can't comment on first question.
Stepping stone to NPL only in so far as they MAY receive better coaching at GCL. Otherwise, NPL clubs would not give any preference to GCL girls compared to association level girls. In fact, if two players were equal at trials a club will often give the spot to the club level girl as she has not had the exposure to quality coaching that the GCL girl may have had (more potential).
That said, it is a good idea for Hills to enter this comp. They will never get a NPL2 spot unless they go through a few years at this level.

What happens next ? Does the GCL stay at 7 teams or does Football NSW try to get another team in ?

Predicted it! (just saying).
They didn't add new teams last year when Parra pulled out (although Parra did pull out after the trial period which would have made it hard on the new team). At least Eastern Suburbs pulled the pin early.
Must say it was stupid of FNSW not to see it coming. They should have at least had a dialogue with the clubs in this area to avoid this problem.

Seeing that the mens competitions have 14 teams in each NPL League then considering the history with womens teams dropping out there is just enough teams to form 2 women's divisions rather than having a separate GCL if you assume more teams will drop out along the way.
Also, having had another look at the teams in NPL I noticed that there are no womens teams for Wanderers and Sydney FC unlike the youth/mens competitions. Does anybody know the reason for this ?

There is simply no need for the Conference League, all it does it take kids away from their own Associations. The Girls conference league is equivalent in standard to Association Div 1 (probably not our Assoc as yet but most strong Girls Associations). Parramatta pulled out last season after trials because both of their successful 15 and 17 Grand final teams from the year before had been poached by Nepean (whole teams and coaches) once Parramatta was placed in Conference League (therefore no Seniors) so no pathway. It didnt help that as mentioned in the Eastern Suburbs teams are just thrown in and cannibalise each other - same situation with Parramatta FC, Blacktown City and Mt Druitt Rangers last season in the CL and they already had higher ranked Spartans and other nearby. Reps should be elite football, there are so many levels now that Clubs are not trialling for players they are trialling to get numbers to form teams, all it is doing is taking playing numbers out of Associations.
