Blacktown Council
Our Candidates
Shabir Singh
Candidate for Blacktown Council (Darug land)
Ward 1
I’ve lived in the Blacktown LGA since 2009. I love living here because of the multicultural diversity of our local neighbourhoods. I’ve been working in the disability sector for about seventeen years and am currently the Chief Executive Officer of a disability organisation.
Damien Atkins
Candidate for Blacktown Council (Darug land)
Ward 2
I have called Seven Hills home for over 7 years; I am deeply rooted in this community’s fabric. Its rich history, a blend of heritage and diversity, inspires me daily. My children go to local schools and childcare centres. I want Seven Hills to be the best place in Blacktown to grow up in. I refuse to shy away from the tough battles, I will consult with you about council’s plans and decisions. Together, let us forge a brighter future for our community—one where everyone is listened to.

Shining a Light on Council Practices
Here's our Torch The torch with a powerful battery. A standard piece of equipment in a Greens toolkit. People around the country would like to be sure that public assets of all kinds are used wisely and well, and that public money is spent where it is needed and for...
Safe, Well-lit Streets and Alleyways
Safety after Dark for All Does the way ahead look a bit murky once you’re out of range of the street lights? That murkiness is a problem in too many places in Ward 2 and indeed throughout the Blacktown LGA. It shouldn’t be like this. All residents should be able to...
A Level Playing Field
Play fair, Blacktown Council! Be a good sport! Blacktown is an active, sporting city, but the playing field here in Ward 2 is anything but level. Let’s compare the quality of sport and recreational facilities in Lalor Park with that of the facilities in Kings Langley...
