I had a great time trying out a new disc golf course at Whalan Reserve recently which brings back those good times.
How does it work? Players throw a frisbee or disc and try and land it in baskets installed around the course.
Council has installed an 18-basket course as a way of providing free outdoor fun for all ages. So grab a frisbee, some friends and enjoy the course. Let me know if you get a hole in one!
Pop-up community forums roll out
Council’s Pop-up Community Forums are underway for 2026 and I am enjoying meeting many of you.
Our forums are an opportunity to share feedback with your Ward Councillors and I on what matters most to you. There is no registration, no queuing and no agenda.
Pop-up Community Forums are part of our commitment to listening to you so we can guide Council to serve our community better. For dates, venues and times, please see Council’s website and social media.
Taking the hassle out of development applications
Have you heard about Council’s new digital planning assistant making development applications easier?
Called DAISY, the tool is designed to help you better understand planning requirements and lodge your development application efficiently.
DAISY stands for Development Application Information System and is an artificial intelligence-powered tool available on Council’s website.
It provides 24-hour access to general planning information and guidance to support people at the early stages of a development application.
It does not replace Council’s planning staff or decision-making.
I encourage you to try DAISY for your next application.
Brad Bunting is Mayor of Blacktown City.
