Blacktown City Council - Have Your Say - Warrick Lane Precinct Development




Warrick Lane Precinct Redevelopment 

The transformation of Blacktown city centre into a modern metropolitan centre has been Council’s vision for many years.
We want to develop the Warrick Lane site to generate major economic, employment and social benefits for the people of Blacktown City. The proposed $76.5 million redevelopment will ensure the site’s size and strategic location will be better utilised to deliver a vibrant city centre for both residents and businesses.
Our strategy is to encourage investment from the government and private sectors.  
The Warrick Lane Precinct is proposed as a modern mixed-use development including commercial office, retail, civic, university and carpark uses, anchored on a new public plaza.
We would like to hear your thoughts about the proposal for the new Warrick Lane precinct. Complete the form on Council's website.

Unsung Local Hero - 2770 Watch Without Childish Admin

One great thing about Social Media brings out the Champions of our area, the people that volunteer time, days to months to years. Here is a 'Special' Unsung hero raised from the Face Book Group 2770 Watch without Childish Admin - This group has the most membership over 26,000 members. I really applaud the admin this local interesting  topic, raising awareness of  something that places smiles on our faces.

Here it is and it's comments:
