About Bankstown
Bankstown has one of the most ethnically
diverse communities in Australia. Home to a large Lebanese
community, Bankstown also boasts large populations of Greek,
Chinese, Vietnamese and Slavic migrants. In all, over 60 different
languages are spoken. Bankstown is considered as one of the most
multicultural areas in the country.
Bankstown's central
business district is clustered around
Bankstown Railway Station. The commercial area beside the railway
station is known as Bankstown Plaza, while the ethnic diversity of
the area has created a host of great restaurants, eateries and
cafes.
Centro Bankstown
(previously known as Bankstown Square), is a large shopping centre
(mall), immediately to the northeast of the railway Station. It was
first opened in 1966 and has been expanded a number of times. The
latest project was completed on 22 June 2006 and includes a new Big
W and Woolworths supermarket, a "Fresh Life food district", as well
as various specialty shops and 1000+ new parking spaces.
The Bankstown Central Library has been serving
Bankstown on its present site in The Mall since 1954. Eight years
earlier in 1946, Bankstown became the first municipality to adopt
the Library Act of 1939 by opening a Children’s Library, located at
Restwell Street. The Bankstown Central Library was demolished in
1981 to make way for a current facility which opened in 1983.
