It was great to be part of the topping out ceremony at the Liverpool Civic Place on Wednesday, 17 May, with Mayor Ned Mannoun of Liverpool council and with the council's partner, Built, an Australian construction company. This development will include a state-of-the-art library, an arts and culture centre, a childcare facility and more than 35,000 square metres of commercial office space that I believe will be a great attraction for organisations and businesses as well as government agencies, who I know want to create jobs in Western Sydney, to make Liverpool city their home. Standing at the top of the development and looking out across the city of Liverpool was just amazing.

Throughout this project, the council aims to give a civic identity to the area in activating the southern part of Liverpool city centre and capitalising on the site's location, creating a generous public space for the community to use. The ceremony was mixed with local cultural performance and speeches, providing an insight on the long history of the site and its progress. Liverpool is now preparing to gain the title of Sydney's third CBD, and such projects within Fowler will contribute to enhancing and building out on Sydney's south-west region as the economic engine of the nation. I want to congratulate Liverpool City Council for having this vision and companies like Built for being partners in helping transform our region.
