LOCAL LIFE
Blacktown Residents - have your say on the future of our waterways
Our waterways , both visible and hidden , are the lifeblood of our city .
They provide vital green spaces for relaxation and recreation , and in some cases a cool respite on our hotter days . Waterways are an essential part of our city ’ s wellbeing . They play a key role in keeping our city liveable and sustainable .
As Blacktown City continues to grow , the health and future of our waterways are more important than ever . From creeks and wetlands to concrete lined channels , our waterways improve our quality of life and play a vital role in managing stormwater .
That ’ s why we are inviting all residents to share their views in our waterways survey . Tell us how you value , and engage with , the waterways in Blacktown City .
