Election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor for Blacktown City

At last Wednesday's Council meeting, I was re-elected as Mayor of Blacktown City and Councillor Tony Bleasdale, OAM as Deputy Mayor.

I am proud to have the opportunity to continue to lead Blacktown City as Mayor, working with my fellow Councillors and with the local community - the community I have been proud to serve for 16 years on this Council and lived in for 50 years.

The past 12 months as Mayor, have been a period of great achievement for Council and the local area, with many developments, programs and events taking place throughout the City.

I look forward to working with incoming Deputy Mayor, Councillor Bleasdale, OAM and would like to thank outgoing Deputy Mayor, Councillor Kathie Collins, OAM for her outstanding work and support over the past 12 months.

Thank you from all the staff at Emerton Leisure Centre

On behalf of the staff at Emerton Leisure Centre and Council, I would like to thank the valued visitors of Emerton Leisure Centre for their continued support.

The Centre was awarded the Most Outstanding Health and Fitness Centre award at 2011 Local Business Awards on Wednesday, 7 September.

The Centre strives on delivering superior quality programs, products and services to the community and was awarded this prestigious honour, ahead of other local businesses, for its dedication and commitment to the community and its sustainable energy efficient procedures.

Congratulations to the staff at Emerton Leisure Centre for their ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to the local community in providing a facility that is proactive in supporting sport, fitness and wellbeing.

I encourage the local community who have not yet visited the Centre to do so over the warmer months. Emerton Leisure Centre is located on Jersey Road, Emerton. For information about the Centre's programs and events call 9628 7016 or visit www.elc.blacktown.nsw.gov.au.
