Cumberland is set to get a city status and Cumberland Council will be renamed ‘Cumberland City Council’. It follows a recent Council meeting that supported a mayoral minute recommending Council change its name with the Australian Business Registration Service.

Mayor Steve Christou has welcomed the development.

“When our Council was established in 2016, one important detail was overlooked - we were named Cumberland Council instead of Cumberland City Council,” he said. “Cumberland already has the characteristics of a great city. We are the fifth largest Council in NSW and we are home to a growing population of around 240,000 residents. “As a city, we’re contributing significantly to the regional economy and new opportunities are on the horizon for industry, culture and city planning.“This name change will strengthen our position as a Council but also how others see us, including the business community.“We’re finally getting the recognition we deserve and I couldn't be prouder.”

Council expects to register the trading name of ‘Cumberland City Council’ with the Australian Business Registration Service in the next month.

The Cumberland Local Government Area (LGA) is located in Sydney’s western suburbs, about 25 kilometres from the CBD and close to the geographic heart of Sydney.

The State Member for Blacktown Stephen Bali has stepped down from the position of Blacktown City Mayor after 5 years in the role.

Under the Local Government Act, Mayors and Councillors can only continue in the office for 2 years after being elected to the NSW Parliament.

Mayor Bali was elected to Parliament at the 14 October 2017 by-election for the seat of Blacktown triggered by the resignation of former NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson.

Mayor Bali stepped down from office at an Extraordinary Meeting of Blacktown City Council on Wednesday (9 October). His resignation from Council will take effect from Monday (14 October).
Deputy Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM was elected Mayor unopposed and Councillor Julie Griffiths was elected Deputy Mayor, also unopposed.

Councillor Stephen Bali was first elected to Blacktown City Council in March 2004. He was Deputy Mayor from 2009 to 2010 and was elected Mayor in September 2015.

“It has been an absolute honour and privilege to represent the people of Blacktown as a Councillor, Deputy Mayor and Mayor."

“I thank my Council colleagues, Council’s staff and most importantly the people of Blacktown for their support and belief in our City and for giving so much of their time and effort in seeking to make a difference,” Cr Bali said.
​
Councillor Bali paid tribute to those on Council who paved the way for him including former Mayors the Hon. John Aquilina, the late Jim Lynch, the late Leo Kelly and his late father and former Deputy Mayor, Charlie Bali.
