Acknowledgment of Country

The City of Canterbury Bankstown acknowledges the traditional country of the Darug (Darag, Dharug, Daruk and Dharuk) and the Eora peoples.

We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living today.

Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language groups in the City and works closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to advance reconciliation in the City.

I am pleased to present the Draft Master Plan for Bankstown City Centre. This is a strategic document that will transform Bankstown into a leading health and education precinct within the Sydney Metropolitan Area.

Bankstown City Centre is at the cusp of major transformation. Major city shaping infrastructure investments underway in the form of a new Sydney Metro Station, the Western Sydney University vertical campus and a committed $1.3 billion hospital for Bankstown.

With unprecedented institutional and transport infrastructure investment comes opportunities for more people to live, work and learn in Bankstown.
