Mount Druitt's Dawson Mall will undergo a multimillion-dollar transformation with a new stage, play equipment, seating and shade structure for the community to enjoy.
Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM marked the beginning of construction on the project at a sod turning on Monday, with the project expected to be finished mid-2023.
"This upgrade of Mount Druitt Town Square will provide a much-needed boost for this busy public thoroughfare in the heart of Mount Druitt," Mayor Bleasdale said.
"Once completed, there will be a new stage for community performances, new play equipment for the kids, and a new shade structure, lighting and seating.
"The upgrades will be a colourful addition to Dawson Mall and will be situated just next to the Mount Druitt Hub."
A feature of the transformation will be an innovative, rainbow-coloured rope shade structure, which will snake through the new town square.
It will also include a new table tennis table, landscaping and tree planting.
The project has been supported through the Australian Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Fund.
