Blacktown City Council is proud of the contribution made by\
its local business sector and recognises this contribution
through the Blacktown Corporate Citizen awards program.
Blacktown City Mayor, Stephen Bali MP said: “The award
recognises an individual with a business in Blacktown City
who has achieved great success in their industry and made
an outstanding contribution to the community.”
“The Corporate Citizen award winner is someone who has
not only done well in business but has clearly demonstrated
a high level of social responsibility and community
involvement in Blacktown City.”
Council is now calling for nominations for the Blacktown
Corporate Citizen of 2019. The winner will be announced at
a special function at Blacktown Civic Centre, Nirimba Room
on Tuesday 21 May.
In recent years the award has been presented to builder,
developer, and entrepreneur Bill McNamara OAM (2017),
and Sydney Business Park owner and manager Rob Wearn
and Owen Walsh (2018).
Rob Wearn bought Sydney Business Park land (with Bryan
Singh) in the mid 1990’s, and they are both focused on
creating a lasting positive legacy for the community. Mr
Wearn is heavily involved in a number of Western Sydney
charities, including Thorndale, Royal Far West and the Great
Walk Foundation.
Owen Walsh has been the manager of the Sydney Business
Park project since 2005, and is instrumental in shaping the
vision and delivery of the project. Owen has been involved in
supporting many local schools and job placements through
his work with the Beacon Foundation and Marist 180.
“It is very important for us to recognise the huge contribution
business owners and leaders make to both the economy
and wellbeing of our City,” Mayor Bali said.
“I am looking forward to seeing the many worthy
nominations for the award this year,” he said.
Nominations close on Friday 3 May.

community, complete the form on Council’s
