Blacktown Safer Cities: Her Way Food Market Walkshop

As part of Transport for NSW’s Safer Cities: Her Way Program, Blacktown City Council received a $1 million grant to deliver trial improvements and events around public spaces such as streets and transport hub precincts, to make them feel safer and more welcoming for everyone.

Based on community feedback and ideas, Council has made trial improvements to the following areas to make it feel safer and more welcoming.

· Blacktown Station Plaza

· Jim Simpson Lane

· Sections of Main Street

Now, we want you to tell us how these trial improvements have impacted how you feel moving through the space.

Join a community ‘walkshop’, where we will revisit Blacktown Station Plaza, Jim Simpson Lane, and sections of Main Street to see the changes that have been made.

This is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts and let us know how these trial improvements and events have changed the way you feel about safety when walking through the area.

Date: Friday 26 July 2024,

Time: 6pm – 7.30pm

Starting Location: Max Webber Library, Flushcombe Rd &, Alpha St, Blacktown NSW 2148
