Business
Blacktown City is home to over 21,000 businesses that provide over 71,000 jobs to the residents of Western Sydney. The majority of this employment is in manufacturing followed by retail & wholesale trade services, then health & community services.
Blacktown City offers a variety of strategic advantages for business located in the City including two motorways (M4 and M2) and the soon to be completed (2006) Westlink M7 which will create an orbital ring road around the Sydney metropolitan area.
The City also has an increasingly skilled workforce, with relatively low rates of unemployment. As a home to over 280,000 residents and a strong University and TAFE presence, the City is continuing to grow and compete internationally.
