Overview

Blackett lies 48 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Blacktown and had 3,586 residents at the 2021 census. A small shopping complex with a liquor/general store, halal and non‑halal butcher, bakery, takeaway and service station serves the local community, especially its Pacific Islander population. Nearby reserves such as Casey, Clune and Blackett Heights offer green recreation. The housing stock is dominated by 1960s‑70s public‑sector fibro homes and terrace blocks, though 89.1% of private dwellings are separate houses and ownership is shifting toward modern private homes.

Blackett borders the Westlink M7, giving access to the Great Western Highway, the M4 corridor and the CBD. Private buses connect the suburb to Mount Druitt and St Marys train stations, and cycleways link Poppondetta Park to the M7, M4 and M2 routes. Local schools include Blackett Public School (est. 1971) and Niland Special School, with secondary campuses a drive away in Mount Druitt.
