An underdeveloped part of Seven Hills is set for transformation after $36 million was pledged towards a community centre, library and play spaces through a major $400 million windfall from the state government.
The Seven Hills Community Resource Hub will be constructed on part of the existing commuter carpark in Boomerang Place and will provide critical services to the community.
Blacktown Council will deliver the project, which would be a focal point for government and non-government agencies after it secured funding as part of the government’s WestInvest program.
Along with the library and play spaces, there will be meeting and activity areas, and heat refuge and disaster recovery facilities.

The multi-storey project has been designed for the community to participate in events that increase social cohesion, promote wellbeing, reduce social isolation and support the community’s health and wellbeing.
The centre will occupy the entrance of the carpark in the town centre. The project is part of a $400m cash splash for Blacktown under the WestInvest funding, including $77.2m for the Blacktown Aquatic Master Plan and $25.4m for Mt Druitt PCYC.
Under another key development, Walker Corporation will overhaul the Blacktown CBD like it did with Parramatta Square with a $2 billion project. The development will stretch from south of Civic Lane towards Blacktown Workers’ Club on a block including the council’s Bowman
Hall and a stretch of carparks.
