Blacktown City Council - Media Release - Mayor Stephen Bali MP Steps Down / Councillor Tony Bleasedale OAM Elected Mayor

10 October 2019


The State Member for Blacktown Stephen Bali has stepped down from the position of Blacktown City Mayor after 5 years in the role.

Under the Local Government Act, Mayors and Councillors can only continue in the office for 2 years after being elected to the NSW Parliament.

Mayor Bali was elected to Parliament at the 14 October 2017 by-election for the seat of Blacktown triggered by the resignation of former NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson.

Mayor Bali stepped down from office at an Extraordinary Meeting of Blacktown City Council on Wednesday (9 October). His resignation from Council will take effect from Monday (14 October).

Deputy Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM was elected Mayor unopposed and Councillor Julie Griffiths was elected Deputy Mayor, also unopposed.

Councillor Stephen Bali was first elected to Blacktown City Council in March 2004. He was Deputy Mayor from 2009 to 2010 and was elected Mayor in September 2015. “It has been an absolute honour and privilege to represent the people of Blacktown as a Councillor, Deputy Mayor and Mayor. “I thank my Council colleagues, Council’s staff and most importantly the people of Blacktown for their support and belief in our City and for giving so much of their time and effort in seeking to make a difference,” Cr Bali said.

Councillor Bali paid tribute to those on Council who paved the way for him including former Mayors the Hon. John Aquilina, the late Jim Lynch, the late Leo Kelly and his late father and former Deputy
Mayor, Charlie Bali.  Councillor Bali said working with the community had been the most fulfilling aspect of his time on
Council. “We campaigned against the negative stereotyping portrayed in the SBS Struggle Street program, we restored pensioner rates discounts and reopened Mt Druitt Swimming Centre. We fought the world’s largest incinerator and saved hectares of precious Cumberland Plain Woodland.”

As Mayor, Stephen Bali has led Council’s transformational projects including the redevelopment of the Warrick Lane precinct in the Blacktown CBD, the establishment of Australian Catholic
University’s Blacktown Campus and the planned International Centre of Training Excellence at the Blacktown International Sportspark.

In his acceptance speech, Mayor Tony Bleasdale said he was deeply honoured to be elected Mayor of Blacktown City.
“I am honoured to follow in the footsteps of the historic term of our colleague and great friend Stephen Bali.

“Under his 5 years of leadership, a valuable legacy has been established for Blacktown City, a legacy of stability and clarity of vision and respect for all our communities.

“Mayor Bali’s leadership has resulted in collaboration on Council which underpins the dynamic transformative program that will establish Blacktown as a city of talent, diversity and sustainable
growth and development.

“I know that any history of our city will hold Councillor Stephen Bali in the highest regard for the many achievements and landmark moments under his leadership.

“Under my leadership we will complete the transformational projects that Stephen Bali and Council started.

“Blacktown City Council must continue the fight for Indigenous recognition, we must continue to lead and advocate for our community, we must continue to engage with our communities and we will continue to build on the excellent work going on in the economic development in our city,” Mayor Bleasdale said.

Deputy Mayor Julie Griffiths was first elected to Council in 2008 and is now serving in her second term. Councillor Griffiths has been a long time member of the Australian Local Government Women’s Association NSW Branch including terms as President and City Vice President. She is currently a Councillor on the Hawkesbury River County Council and on the Board of LG NSW.

“It is an honour and privilege to serve the Blacktown City Community and I look forward to joining with Tony and my fellow Councillors in ensuring Blacktown City continues its journey of sustainable growth and development while celebrating diversity and multiculturalism,” Deputy Mayor Griffiths
said.

“I am committed to fostering Blacktown City’s infrastructure and providing good quality child care and further developing services for our youth through local apprenticeships and traineeships.“

Council will seek the Minister for Local Government’s approval not to hold a by-election to replace Councillor Bali. Ward 4 would then be served by 2 Councillors for the remainder of this Council term which concludes in September 2020.

Press Release: No Incinerator for Western Sydney & Comments from 'whyilovemountdruitt' Face Book Page

Cleanaway is planning a WtE (Waste to Energy) Incinerator to be built in Eastern Creek.

Apparently, one dangerous incinerator per suburb is not enough...

The new proposal from Cleanaway is no different to the Next Generation WtE development application which was rejected last year by IPC, after the NSW Planning, NSW EPA, the NSW Health, local councils and the residents voiced their concerns against their proposal.

WTE technology is the dirtiest type of energy production in the world and for every 4 tonnes of rubbish burnt, one tonne of extremely toxic and dangerous fly ash must be buried and left for our future generations to deal with. Not to mention the added air pollution and carcinogens being pumped into our environment daily. The toxins from this technology have been found in our food, lungs, breast milk, placenta, it permeates our food chain and bodies. Incineration of any type is dangerous and not the way forward for our future and doesn’t belong in any country’s waste policy.

WTE technology is only popular because of the Clean Energy financial incentives being offered by the Federal Govt for a non-clean nor green industry and they need to be removed now.

Once again, Western Sydney is the dumping ground and although they say it is only for 500,000 tonnes, which is no less dangerous, this is just the beginning and the strategy they use to get their foot in the door and the proposal approved. Once approved, those limits are increased with frightening regularity.

Incinerator planned for western Sydney

Sydney’s landfill crisis is set to be tackled with an ambitious proposal to convert household waste into enough energy to power 65,000 homes in the city’s western suburbs.

Ron Vorbach Using the guise of

power to get around all opposition 

really shows how easy it is to 

hoodwink people here and people 

are silly enough to accept it. What 

toxics will be emitted infecting the 

health of all in it`s path let alone the 

stench. 65000 homes of possible 

very sick people that wont even get 

a sorry from the government.

• We sure are. a well known fact with the Sydney basin. Sea air pushes everything in it`s path to the mountains and in most cases unable to push what ever over the mountains and thus all builds up giving us our own climate. Thus every thing gets caught and builds up in outer Sydney including pollutants . A wise government would freight these waist items to less populated rural locations and use the energy it creates to power large aircons which would generate water. Thus one area of drought issues resolved .
