🏡 New to Canterbury‑Bankstown?
Have you recently moved here and want to learn more about what Council does and the wide range of services available to you?
Each year, our City welcomes many newly‑arrived residents. Many come from refugee and non‑English speaking backgrounds, bringing with them diverse cultures, languages, religions and lived experiences. Some have faced significant hardship and have chosen Australia as a place of safety and opportunity.
We’re here to help you feel informed, supported and connected in your new community.

Got an old bike collecting dust? 🚲 Give it a second life and help reduce carbon emissions at the same time!
Donating a pre-loved bike can save around 116kg of CO₂ — that’s like driving hundreds of kilometres less or skipping dozens of hot showers. 🌱
Join us at our bike donation event and turn your unused bike into something meaningful for the community.
When: Saturday 30 May, 10am–1pm
Where: 58 Moorefields Road, Kingsgrove
No registration needed. Just show up on the day with your old bike 🙂

Dive into Otis Hope Carey’s vibrant world in Ngilina nganyundiya muya-la (it’s in my breath/soul), where bold, rhythmic forms reflect a powerful connection to culture, spirit and the ocean — then step into Backjump by Tia Madden, where raw, energetic graffiti from Sydney’s west is reimagined into striking works that challenge how we see and read marks.
On exhibition until Saturday 30 May at @BankstownArtsCentre (BAC), come enjoy the rich survey of works offered by both artists, open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am–4pm.
