CULTURAL CENTRE

Blacktown Cultural Centre

Darug Country, “Blacktown”

The Blacktown Arts and Cultural Centre will be a living expression of its community, shaped by local materials and integrated art forms that reflect the many cultural stories of the area.

Sourcing materials from the region grounds the building in place. Community involvement sits at the centre of the design process, with local artists and cultural groups contributing embedded artworks, murals, and sculptural elements that tell those stories in built form.

The result is a shared space that represents, inspires, and evolves with the people who shape it.
