Council will provide a new indoor 50m pool, a new indoor 25m learn to swim pool, and an upgrade of the outdoor 50m pool as part of wide-ranging improvements.
There will also be an extended splashpad that lets children safely enjoy the water, upgraded fitness rooms, a new café and foyer, inclusive amenities and more.
Work is anticipated to begin in 2026 and will take about 18 months.
Council also recently announced the biggest upgrade in Mount Druitt Swimming Centre’s 50-year history, so it’s exciting times for swimmers.
The great news is these projects are not using ratepayer funds, as they have been funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants program.
You can find more about these upgrades on Council’s website.
New waste service biggest in 30 years
I AM pleased to say the biggest waste service change in Blacktown City in more than 30 years is rolling out to eligible households from June.
Our community told us it was looking forward to the changes, which include a food and garden waste bin, and helping Blacktown City be more sustainable.
If you need help using the new service, Council is running an online chat on its website to make asking questions and receiving answers more convenient.
The online chat is available Monday to Friday, from 3.30 pm to 7.30 pm, via blacktown.nsw.gov.au/waste.
You can also find out more about waste service changes by calling our Customer Service Centre on 5300 6000, Monday to
Friday, 8.30 am to 4.30 pm.
