Blacktown City Council - Media Release - First Stage of Warrick Lane Demolition Completed

19 June 2019

The transformation of the Blacktown CBD has taken another

step forward with the completion of the first stage of 

demolition work in Blacktown City Council’s Warrick Lane 

redevelopment project.

The first stage involved levelling the old Blacktown Mall in 

Main Street and a number of adjoining shops and the 

removal of all debris and materials.

The demolition and excavation comes ahead of the 

construction of the 450-space underground car park, new 

town plaza and buildings flanking the plaza.

The Warrick Lane redevelopment project will also provide 

the site for Australian Catholic University’s Blacktown 

Campus.

The next stage of the project will commence in Mid July 

involving the demolition of 81-83 Main Street, including the 

buildings occupied by Westpac and Connect Hearing.

Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said: “Throughout 

the demolition process Council has insisted that contractors 

put in place strict dust, noise and vibration minimisation 

measures.

“The site is sealed off from the surrounding area and 

specialist hazardous materials disposal measures are

in place and rigorously enforced to ensure complete public 

safety,” Mayor Bali said.
