“Our plan for better local living will deliver fresh playgrounds, dog parks, a new community water play area for hot summer days, and better connections into local active transport networks.
“These projects, to be delivered in partnership with Blacktown City Council, will also improve playground fencing in response to local community feedback,” Ms Rowland said.
Building back better from COVID-19 to improve suburban living is a key priority for Labor heading into the 2022 Federal Election.
“As a package, our plan to deliver fun, modern, and safe infrastructure will enhance opportunities across Greenway for parents and their children to enjoy more time together outdoors.”
The $12.8M investment plan would deliver:
• Six new and upgraded play spaces across Schofields, Riverstone and Grantham farm;
• A new and exciting community water play area to be located in Schofields;
• Fencing to make existing play spaces safer in the areas of Parklea, Seven Hills, Lalor Park, Quakers Hill and Kings Langley; and
• District scale walking trails in Grantham Farm, Lalor Park and Quakers Hill to help better connect residents into local active transport networks.
“As a mother of two young daughters under the age of ten, I understand that parents want to provide the very best opportunities for their children. And that’s what this plan aims to do — provide a better future for local families and residents,” Ms Rowland said.
“Blacktown Council has worked with Michelle Rowland to develop the list of essential projects that are key components of Council’s “More Active, More Often” campaign,“ said Catherine King, Shadow Minster for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development.
