In a moment of unity and recognition, the Uptown Team for Chinatown Eastwood presented a banner of appreciation to the City of Ryde Council acknowledging the Council’s strong and ongoing support for the creation of Eastwood Chinatown.

The symbolic gesture took place during a council session and was warmly received by councillors and community leaders. The banner read:

This collaboration between local community leaders and the City of Ryde marks a major milestone in the Chinatown Eastwood project, which aims to celebrate multiculturalism, promote small business growth, and enhance cultural tourism in Northern Sydney.

The Eastwood Chinatown initiative—led by the 145CT Association and supported by various groups—has been a grassroots movement to enrich the cultural and economic life of Eastwood. With strong backing from the NSW Government and City of Ryde, the project has progressed through key development phases, and events that showcase Chinese heritage and innovation.

Ryde Mayor and councillors praised the spirit of collaboration and expressed their continued commitment to supporting inclusive community development that reflects Eastwood’s diverse and vibrant population.

The event not only acknowledged past efforts but also strengthened the foundation for future developments—ensuring Eastwood becomes a shining example of cultural integration and civic pride.
