Our Blacktown 2036 outlines Council’s practical approach to achieving the community’s aspirations for the City. Alongside the 6 strategic directions is a set of transformational projects that completes the vision for the City.
The transformational projects identify key priorities for our community, including “breakthrough” areas to advance the long term strategy. With relevant stakeholders, we will work towards delivering these projects, ensuring the vision is achieved. The transformational projects support delivery of the strategic directions. As strategies are confirmed, they will also become key actions in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan.
The projects identified that will help transform Blacktown City include:
Blacktown International Sportspark (BISP)
Blacktown City Centre
The transformational projects are at different stages of development. In most cases a detailed business case and funding strategy is still to be considered.
The projects vary in nature and may include work in the following areas:
-
Construction and capital expenditure
-
Planning and design
-
Facilitation, including the negotiation of agreements between Blacktown City and external parties for a future project
-
Advocacy and issues management.
In each case, we will seek to secure co-contributions from the NSW Government to the project to leverage and augment the benefits to the community.
