2025 Statement - Where we will be

Blacktown City is a Regional City. The State Government recognised the significant role that the City of Blacktown provides in the future growth and development of greater metropolitan Sydney and granted Regional City status. Regional City status has allowed Blacktown City to offer an enhanced diversity and range of quality jobs, commercial, retail, health, cultural, recreational, entertainment and lifestyle opportunities to the existing and future residents of Blacktown and the surrounding region.
