Blacktown Lights Up for Christmas

This Thursday the Blacktown CBD is set to sparkle when the Blacktown Christmas Tree lights are turned on for the first time, with a special Christmas concert at the Civic Plaza from 5pm to 9pm.

Come along and enjoy a Christmas concert featuring live entertainment, roving characters and a photo opportunity with Santa!

At 8.30pm, Santa will help switch on the Christmas Tree Lights on the huge 26 metre Christmas Tree!

There are many Christmas events taking place in Blacktown City, including the Mayoress Christmas Gift Appeal and the Blacktown City Decorate Your Home Christmas Competition. Council has also compiled a comprehensive list of carol events taking place throughout December. Copies are available from Council or by visiting www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au.

Council wants your feedback

I encourage residents to participate in a survey about their experience of living in Blacktown City, with work beginning on the Blacktown City Social Plan 2012.

The survey is a great way to provide Council with feedback on a variety of topics, such as public transport, infrastructure and community services. So we can find out what is working and what you would like to see improved, in and around our great City.

Results of the survey will assist Council with the direction of future planning and identify key social issues and guide the strategies employed by for Blacktown City. The survey can be accessed online at www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au, by contacting Council's Social Planning Coordinator on 9839 6000 and Council officers will also be a numerous Council events speaking to the community.

Mayor of Blacktown City,

Councillor Alan Pendleton
