Lest We Forget.

Blacktown City Council closed its aquatic and leisure centres to the public last month as a consequence of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

The closures left the food and drink outlets at the venues with a stock of food items and rather than it going to waste Council looked for opportunities to help those in need in the community.

Staff from Blacktown Aquatic Centre, Blacktown Leisure Centre Stanhope, Riverstone Swimming Centre and Mount Druitt Swim Centre organised for their perishable food items to be sent to Foodbank Australia at Glendenning.

Foodbank teams up with local charities to supply vital relief programs such as community pantries, dining halls, mobile soup vans, emergency hampers and breakfast or lunch programs in schools.
Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said, “Year in year out our friends at Foodbank do a fantastic job of feeding the vulnerable in our community.

“Now more than ever people need help and seeing this food go to where it is needed is something Council was more than happy to be involved in.”
​
The range of non-perishables items donated included fresh vegetables, fruits, breads, frozen foods, biscuits and drinks.

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.
