A mere 35 km from the hustle and bustle of the Sydney CBD and you find the more laidback rural Blacktown.
The past few decades have transformed Blacktown into the heart of Sydney’s booming Greater West region, a booming area leading New South Wales for population, services and employment growth. However the area has still managed to maintain elements of a rural atmosphere keeping in line with the rural origins of Blacktown.
Blacktown is home for nearly 270,000 people - with 44 residential suburbs. It is the third largest local government area in Australia and home to 1 in every 74 Australians. Future growth is set to continue as more and more people discover the family lifestyle, educational and employment opportunities on offer in Blacktown.
10 railway stations along two railway lines link commuters with their respective destinations as well as regional transport interchange facilities at Blacktown and Mount Druitt. Blacktown is equally well connected by road boasting extensive infrastructure such as the M4 and M2 networks.
Blacktown is home to many beautiful rural and city parks designed for relaxation and entertainment. The area boasts many attractions such as wildlife facilities, parks and reserves, racetracks, sporting and entertainment facilities and a whole host more.
