Since Blacktown City Council Won't Act On Behalf Of Community In Relation Westfield Smoke-Free Signs - They Will Have To Work On Other Smoke-Free Signs Within The Community!

Since publishing  This blog, on the 17 September, this year, I have received various responses from Council Officers pretty much stating that it is not up to them to deal with the NSW Smoke-free laws, in relation to dealing with public  signs within  our Local Government Area.

The representative from NSW Health was shock to hear that a large City Council of Blacktown, didn't  want to represent the community on these issues. They advised they would be speaking to the relevant authorities at Blacktown City Council to obtain a more positive feedback and assistance on the NSW Smoke-Free Laws.


So we now require Blacktown City Council to act immediately on placing 'No Smoking' and 'Fine' signs on all playground around Blacktown City Council  public playgrounds as  this is not being enforced by Council, especially around all Mount Druitt Parks/Reserves and Wetlands as per Smoke-Free laws on playgrounds. Now Council cannot say they have nothing to do with these vital health laws, as the parks are owned by Council. Smoking Bans must be introduced by Council, if not yet done.

Furthermore Council must look at ensuring all public access points to  a building  proper signage within Blacktown City Council under the  NSW Smoke-Free Laws Click here.

And Furthermore,  Council must also ensure that the NSW Smoke-Free Laws must have proper signage within spectating areas and sports ground Click here .

 Also, Council must also ensure the NSW Smoke-Free Laws have proper signage and is  ensure it is properly regulated at all Blacktown City Council Public Pools.  Click here

 Also, Council must also ensure the NSW Smoke-Free Laws have proper signage at public transport stops and stations. This includes bus stops and taxi stands.  Click here

**Refer to  NSW Local Government ACT 1993, enforced by Council Rangers.



All the above public areas mentioned above, must be immediately adhered too to ensure all  them are properly regulated and complied with/too the NSW  Smoke-Free Environment 2000.

This may make Blacktown City Council this time work with the community and they also participate with the NSW Smoke-Free Environment ACT 2000, to ensure there is a public health and safety environment for all community members.
