Blacktown Council Services Hit by Industrial Action

Due to 24-hour industrial action announced this morning, several Council services across the Blacktown City Council area will be impacted today.

Mowing and maintenance of parks and ovals are affected, along with street cleaning and waste services, graffiti removal, and some civil maintenance works including pothole repairs.

Residents should be aware that splash parks at Nurragingy Reserve and at Blacktown Showground will not operate because of the industrial action.

In addition, some community centres may not be cleaned today and may not meet usual service standards.

Some scheduled red and green bin collections will not occur today or tomorrow.

Suburbs affected by the changes to garbage services during today and tomorrow are listed below. Other suburbs may also experience collection delays later this week. Council anticipates services will be caught up over the weekend.

Residents are asked to leave their bins at the kerb until they are collected.

Bulk kerbside clean-up collections are also impacted. Collections will still occur, but residents should expect delays.
