City of Opportunities

Blacktown City is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. By 2041, population growth will result in our region having over 615,000 residents – easily larger than Tasmania! Only by working together can we deliver the jobs, infrastructure and social services to support a vibrant and exciting City – Opportunity for All!

The Berejiklian Government has once again revealed where its priorities are, and these priorities DO NOT lie in Blacktown City. The NSW Government Budget for 2021 saw inadequate funding allocated for Western Sydney. Blacktown City is in dire need of funding to better resource its schools, health, police, infrastructure and jobs to meet the demands of the massive population growth. No strategic plan for Blacktown City hospitals network. Planned Rouse Hill hospital downgraded to a health service. Blacktown and Mt Druitt hospitals experiencing a health crisis in staffing and resources. Lack of Palliative Care Wards across western Sydney. This Budget failed to deliver for our health needs.

Thousands of children across Blacktown City are crammed in demountables, whilst schools in Sydney’s North and East have upgraded learning environment and new classrooms. The NSW Government has pledged standard funding across Prospect, Blacktown, and Mt Druitt electorates whilst for Riverstone, Seven Hills and Londonderry electorates classrooms are not matching population growth. Your postcode should not determine your opportunities. This is a disappointing Budget that FAILS to meet the needs or expectations of Blacktown City residents.
