Virtually all of my school education took place within close vicinity of Mt Druitt. I attended Colyton Primary School until 1991, Colyton High School until 1995, and St Marys Senior High School until 1997.

Business & Investments
I have been in business and investments since the age of 21, starting with my very first property and a small vending machine run. Today I am pleased to be a self-made millionaire, owner of multiple investments and the sole director of 3 businesses in property services - in development, construction, and investment.
I established my property development company, Urban Estate Developments Pty Ltd, in 2007. It undertakes its own development projects, offers consultancy services to others, and is the project director of the renowned Western Sydney Theme Park project which includes the Sydney’s Wonderland theme park.
I next established my construction company, Urban Estate Constructions Pty Ltd, in 2010 which offers building construction services for commercial, industrial and residential projects. The company will soon embark upon project homes and looks forward to running a major housing affordability initiative in the coming months.
Finally, I have established my property investment company, Urban Estate Investments, in late 2012. This company has embarked upon real estate and property advisory services, and will soon expand to offer other services related to property transactions from start to finish.

My vision for australia
My skills, experiences and initiatives all come together to bring about a vision of big improvement to education, employment, housing, and social standards in not just my own electorate, but the Australian population at large.
I believe that every young Australian has the potential to be a highly skilled professional in their key area of interest, and become an entrepreneur. Such motivation through high school years, greater access of education thereafter, and simple business building strategies has the potential to make an astounding difference to their lives along with our economy.
I believe that flexible but responsible urban planning and housing policies can make the great Australian dream a reality for a lot more people. Simplified housing designs, special town planning provisions, combined with urban renewal of aging suburbs will not just bring good quality and very affordable housing stock to the market, but also completely transform what may otherwise be dilapidated or socially disadvantaged towns and suburbs.
In my own electorate of Chifley, I feel a greater responsibility to tackle the region's higher than average unemployment rate, as well as the limitations to the medical and transport facilities, and infrastructure. It is up to me to take full advantage of the new economic power from the region's own strong business growth, particularly in the new business parks at Marsden Park and Huntingwood, and to keep as many of the newly generated jobs for the locals by bridging the education gap.
It will also be up to me to turn the clock back on Mt Druitt Hospital and take it to a top class regional hospital, expand the area's public transport network, and initiate road upgrades and new links to overcome a number of traffic bottle-necks leading to and from the M4 and M7 Motorways.

My vision for a new generation of politics
My vision is to bring about a new generation of leadership in politics - that is leadership with no negativity whatsoever, and leadership of perfect harmony with other successful leaders of the past and present, where I would embark upon the advantage of the experience, education, native ability and imagination of those other minds - even those of other political parties.
I believe that perfect harmony and no negativity does not only eliminate (or frustrate) opposition out of existence, but also eliminates fear that otherwise paralyses great leaders, along with their initiatives that could otherwise be of unimaginable benefit to the population.
In the face of spiraling negativity, corruption and scandals, the field of politics currently calls for a new generation of leadership - a demand which indicates nothing less than an emergency. My goal is to bring about the much sought after new generation of politics. "If it is to be, it is up to me"!

The 'Chifley Ridge' Development
The Chifley Ridge Development is a proposed major redevelopment of the Mount Druitt North region. The proposal would be initiated by Ammar Khan as the Federal Member for Chifley when elected. Aimed at revolutionising the area, the plan is to:
The Vision
The project’s vision is to be hugely transformative for the region.
The Chifley Ridge Development is a community and property development initiative that would revolutionise the region's availability of housing, quality of life, amenities, education, and enterprising business.
It will also prioritise sustainable development and conservation of the environment.
The Plan
The project would introduce simplified town planning policies to fast-track housing redevelopment, which would act as a catalyst for the region’s housing improvement.
This would be followed closely by exciting educational, business and employment opportunities, including funding for community-wide projects in local streets, parks, reserves, schools and commercial outlets.
The Management
The Chifley Ridge Development would be managed locally with all key aspects, such as town planning, community consultation, development consents, funding and allocating the business and employment opportunities to within the local community.
For successful implementation, governance and future growth, a new Chifley Ridge Development Committee (CRDC) will be established. It is proposed that CRDC would be a combination of representatives of NSW Government, Blacktown City Council, local associations, clubs and major businesses, community elders & leaders, and other prominent members of the region.
The Community
Led by the CRDC, the Chifley Ridge Development would see wide ranging community programs and initiatives for the young, the unemployed, the disabled, and senior citizens.
Coupled with the rise in new education, business and employment opportunities, the local community will inevitably experience a new wave of prosperity and pride.
Such prosperity would be self-perpetuating, as previous participants become the new mentors, and more new participants come on board.
The Outcome
The Chifley Ridge Development would be transformative for the Mt Druitt North area after many decades of stagnation, with new housing, schools offering a higher level of education, local parks filled with new attractions and facilities, and local shopping centres greatly increasing their activity through the likes of weekend markets.
Finally - and most importantly - a major shift will occur in the local demographics, as a direct result of phenomenal new higher income opportunities in business and employment.
The Chifley Ridge Development is a proposed major redevelopment of the Mount Druitt North region. The proposal would be initiated by Ammar Khan as the Federal Member for Chifley when elected. Aimed at revolutionising the area, the plan is to:
- Generate multiple avenues of job creation for the region and help fight high levels of unemployment through new infrastructure and opportunities. Unemployment is currently well above national average in the area. 21% of the Mt Druitt precinct households are low income households with an income of less than $600/PW.
- Transform the housing market and assist moving people out of social housing into the private market. Waiting times in the region for the former are now 10+ years.
- Push for a reform of social housing and start having tenants linked to social workers. A significant percentage of social housing tenants have drug and alcohol problems, welfare dependence issues, incidents of child neglect and abuse, mental illness, and domestic violence.
