Blacktown City Council’s 12th monthly community forum for 2017 at Whalan in November will unveil the full $5 million worth of work carried out at Whalan Reserve.
“Earlier this year Council completed work on the amenities building as part of the massive upgrade to Whalan Reserve,” the Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Stephen Bali.
“This is a wonderful asset for the neighbourhood and a state-of-the-art sporting venue for local sports teams.”
“The upgrade also includes a new playground, natural turf cricket practice nets, car parking and pedestrian paths.
“We provide valuable information to the community at these forums, and it gives our residents the rare opportunity to raise their concerns with us face-to-face in their own neighbourhoods,” Mayor Bali said.
“We are back in Ward Five and it’s the ideal opportunity for locals to meet up with me, my fellow Ward Councillors and expert Council staff,” he said.
The Whalan forum starts at 7pm on Wednesday, 8 November at Whalan Community Centre, 48 Torres Crescent, Whalan.
Residents and ratepayers also have the opportunity to hear about major upgrades to local parks and reserves and Council’s community safety programs in the area.
Mayor Bali will also provide more information about a special safety forum Council is hosting in Woodcroft on Saturday, 18 November.
“It is encouraging to see more and more residents taking advantage of Council’s forums and coming to meet with their local Councillors,” Mayor Bali said.
“Be involved, be informed and be heard,” Mayor Bali said.
“Come and have your say about the future of our city. We want residents to come to this forum and engage with their Council,” Mayor Bali said.
Forum details: Wednesday, 8 November, 7pm at Whalan Community Centre, 48 Torres Crescent, Whalan.
