City of Canterbury Bankstown's popular futsal and netball competitions at Morris Iemma Indoor Sports Centre (MIISC) will be kicking off again this September and running until December. 

​It’s time to get excited about new parks across the City!

​Singing sensation Dami Im will be the star attraction at World Music in the Park, which kicks off in Griffith Park, Bankstown on 13 August. Dami is an ARIA chart-topping singer who captivated Australia when she won the 5th season of The X Factor Australia.

​Canterbury-Bankstown Council has taken immediate action following a review into our waste service. Our preliminary findings have identified around 700 bins which were being emptied in the same garbage truck as recycle waste bins.  The review found that of the 400,000 bins collected across the City each fortnight, less than one per cent were impacted. Mayor Khal Asfour says once he was made aware that this was happening, he put in place arrangements to ensure it does not happen again. “When I learnt the full extent of what was happening, I ordered an immediate review of our waste services. 

​When more than 100 volunteers join the call to action to get their hands dirty and give back to the community, it’s a sure sign that it’s a worthy cause. Local nature-loving volunteers took part in Planet Ark's National Tree Day on 31 July in the dog park at Band Hall Reserve/Ferrier Rd Reserve, Birrong.It was the first time in two years that volunteers have been able to plant the seedlings (due to Covid restrictions).

​City of Canterbury Bankstown is opening its first preschool, which is also the first preschool in Campsie. Carrington Square Preschool will address the growing demand for affordable early childhood education in the area, says Mayor Khal Asfour. “With prices of fuel and food escalating we don’t want families to have to choose between their child’s education and basic needs.
