Blacktown is a vibrant city located in the very heart of Greater Sydney, half way between Sydney City and the Blue Mountains, making it the perfect place to stay while visiting Sydney.
New retail, health and education infrastructure is opening up a broad range of employment opportunities in the area and broader region. These opportunities, together with convenient transport to major centres such as Parramatta and the CBD make Blacktown convenient to everything residents need.
Further, the opening of the new Western Sydney Airport, WestConnex and upgraded bus and rail systems make Blacktown a vibrant epicentre in the emerging Greater Western Sydney area. Blacktown is also conveniently located close to the Blue Mountains National Park.
One of the NSW state government’s strategic centres, Blacktown will continue to progress from additional mixed-use development plans including offices, retail, services and housing. Blacktown hospital is currently undertaking major expansion and there are plans for further hospital-related land use and infrastructure nearby.
