City of Parramatta

City of Parramatta is working hard to improve our city and council, now and in the future. We are generating creative ideas and projects that address emerging issues and support Parramatta in becoming a centre of excellence. We have a long term vision for the City and are progressing rapidly towards these goals. Our work spans across a variety of areas, including urban design, land use planning, precinct planning, CBD planning, social outcomes, economic development, environmental outcomes and transport planning. Council's vision is ‘Sydney's central city, sustainable, liveable, and productive – inspired by our communities' The vision recognises the important role that Council will play in shaping Sydney's future as a Central City - aligning with the Greater Sydney Commission's recently released draft 40 year vision for the region. Priorities for the new City of Parramatta include: building a stronger, more innovative council for our community's future managing growth and transport promoting green spaces and the environment providing opportunities for recreation and leisure creating a strong economy with a strong city centre having a community focus supporting arts and culture celebrations and destinations creating vibrant neighbourhoods and precincts.
