Parramatta: a city shedding its skin
More than $2 billion in public and private investment is transforming the face of Parramatta, crystallizing the NSW Government’s vision as the capital of Western Sydney.
On 21 July, Parramatta City Council signed a Public Private Partnership with Grocon Developments to revitalize 3.5 hectares of the CBD. The $1.4 billion Civic Place Project is one of the largest urban renewal projects undertaken outside the Sydney CBD. Due for completion by 2014, Civic Place will feature environmentally sustainable design, European style piazza’s, art house cinemas, a new media gallery and library and outstanding community facilities.
This massive renewal will build on the success of the recently completed Parramatta Transport Interchange and the expansion of Westfield Parramatta.
