We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Land, the Dharug people, and their continued connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders from yesterday to tomorrow.
We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Blacktown City where the flannel flowers still grow proud and strong.
We will walk softly on this land and open our hearts to Country as the Dharug people have for tens of thousands of years.

Blacktown 2020 – Artists’ Community Conversation

Blacktown City is developing the Blacktown City Social Profile 2020 – a key guide for Council to better understand and respond to our community’s needs and aspirations.

The social profile will inform our key community plans and programs and help shape our City’s future.

You are invited to “have your say” and share your experience of living in Blacktown City. Sharing your experience will help us better understand and respond to our local artists’ needs and aspirations.

We also invite you, family and friends to take part in a survey and provide feedback about the experience of living in our City.
