Blacktown City Council - Autumn School Holiday Guide & Helpful Activities

Autumn School Holiday Guide

Our Autumn School Holiday Guide

In recent weeks, Blacktown City Council has acted in the  interests of the health and wellbeing of our residents in response to the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. These actions have included the closure and restrictions of a number of services. Some of these include the: cancellation of all Council organised events and activities until 30 June 2020. closure of Council's Administration Centre to the public closure of all Blacktown City Libraries closure of our 5 aquatic and leisure centres (including gyms). closure of all community and seniors centres closure of all sporting fields, including tennis courts closure of all playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gyms closure of the Blacktown Council Nursery Animal Holding Facility now only accepting appointments. As a result, instead of our School Holiday Guide listing all of the amazing events and workshops we hold for our residents, we have compiled a list of fun activities to do at home with the kids! We encourage all of our residents to practice social distancing measures, maintain personal hygeine, and stay home. For the latest information on all changes to Council's venues and services in response to the coronavirus pandemic, click here. Keep Blacktown's waterways clean!
