Blacktown City Council - Media Release - Leaders Address Blacktown City Budget Forum



07 May 2019

A leading western Sydney businessman and a high achieving

academic will be special guest speakers at Blacktown City

Council’s budget information sessions later this month.

Council is hosting the annual ‘Budget Insight’ forums in two 

sessions. The first is a business focused breakfast on 

Tuesday, 21 May and the second is a community focused 

forum on Wednesday, 22 May.


Both events will give the Blacktown community a chance to 

hear first-hand about Council’s $736 million budget. Guests 

will also have the opportunity to ask questions and provide 

feedback.


Blacktown City Mayor, Stephen Bali MP said: “these forums 

are an important source of engagement with business 

owners, residents, people from sporting and community 

groups, and students.”


Council has embarked on major transformational projects: 

redeveloping Warwick Lane in the Blacktown CBD, 

establishing a university campus in Blacktown, and 

developing an International Centre for Training Excellence.


Mayor Bali said: “We are very pleased to have keynote

speakers who are part of the growth of this City. We will also 

present our plans for the City as Our Blacktown 

2036 strategy rolls out.”


The community forum guest speaker is Paul Campbell,
Deputy Chief Operating Officer at Australian Catholic 

University (ACU). Mr Campbell has also become the 

program director for the establishment of the ACU Blacktown

CBD University Campus.


The Budget Insight for our Community Forum will be 

held on Wednesday, 22 May, 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm, at The 

Nirimba Room, Civic Centre, Campbell Street, Blacktown.

Guest speaker for the business breakfast is David Mumford, 

sales and marketing director of RBK Nutraceuticals, who has 

spent the last 20 years building the business in Blacktown 

City.


“Blacktown is a booming area for business and for young 

people growing up here. We have operated our business in 

Blacktown for a very long time and have seen how different 

industries are moving into the area or expanding, Mr 

Mumford said.
