In partnership with Committee for Sydney, a key focus at Bankstown +10 was the to deep dive into what the next 10 years looks like as one of Sydney’s fastest growing powerhouse cities.

Guests heard from over 20 brilliant speakers on Canterbury-Bankstown’s culture, housing, transport, resilience and future economies.

The insights painted a picture of Canterbury-Bankstown’s soul: a multicultural community of families and young people, small local businesses, a flourishing creative and cultural scene, and developing industrial hubs.

As The Hon. Jihad Dib emphasised in his keynote address, the people who make up this thriving community must be involved and prioritised in all policy and planning decisions. There is no one-size-fits-all solution –; rich, deep, and authentic community consultation is paramount vital to ensuring Bankstown retains its character and soul amidst rapid development and growth.

Special thanks to Committee for Sydney for bringing these important conversations to life.
