Working hard in the year ahead

Published on 22 May 2025

We continue to strongly invest for the community in new experiences and facilities, while managing our finances responsibly so we can keep our residential rates the lowest in Western Sydney.

Council has committed nearly $83 million in capital works for the new financial year - real investments that will make a real difference for our community and for local families.

We’re bringing to life some fantastic, city-shaping projects—like the new Community and Event Centre at Fairfield Showground and an exciting new playground at Brenan Park in Smithfield. We’re also upgrading other parks with new playgrounds and fitness equipment and adding colour and life to our streets with public art and beautification works.

There is also millions of dollars going into everyday essential infrastructure including $12 million for local roads, upgraded sports fields, better roads and transport, improvements to public buildings, and new and upgraded footpaths and our 240-litre 3-bin residential waste collection service.

This is just a snapshot of what’s in store for the year ahead. You can find the full list of projects and services in our Operational Plan at www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/operationalplan.

Council has a strong track record of getting things done—and we’re focused on continuing to deliver for our hardworking families, growing local businesses and the future of our City.
