Blacktown City Council opens construction tender for $600 million infrastructure program

Blacktown City Council has opened a formal Request for Tender (RFT) to establish a panel of qualified contractors to help deliver more than $600 million in transformative infrastructure.

The RFT, Contract C9/2025, will create a panel of Tier 1, Tier 2, and specialist construction partners to deliver a suite of major civic and community infrastructure projects across the city over the next five years.

Mayor Brad Bunting said the program represents one of the most ambitious and well-prepared civic infrastructure agendas in Australia noting "this is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.

"Blacktown City has already delivered more than $250 million in major projects and this program takes that to the next level. With more than $600 million in projects on offer, we're looking for partners who want to build with confidence and purpose."

"This is about more than concrete and steel. It's about delivering lasting value for communities, for workers, and for the future of Western Sydney."

Seven of the projects Council have funded through the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program.

Projects to be delivered include:

• a new PCYC and community hub at Mount Druitt

• the revitalisation of Mount Druitt Town Centre's public domain

• renewed aquatic centres at Blacktown and Mount Druitt

• a First Nations Cultural Hub

• the Seven Hills Community Resource Hub

• an upgraded Blacktown Arts Centre

• a new Civic Centre in the Blacktown CBD (pending Council decisions)

• a new Civic Office at Rooty Hill (pending Council decisions).

Mayor Bunting added "Council has already delivered more than $250 million in major infrastructure over recent years, including award-winning facilities like the Blacktown Exercise and Sports Technology Hub and the Warrick Lane precinct.

"This next phase is about partnering with experienced contractors which share our commitment to design integrity, construction quality and community value."

The RFT will close at 3.00pm on Wednesday 18th June 2025.
