Parramatta 2038 Community Strategic Plan PARRAMATTA 2038 COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN Parramatta City Council June 2013 GROWTH “ Take 30 seconds to study a map of Sydney and it will be immediately obvious that the key to the future development of this city EFFECTIVE lies at Parramatta. If we take the long view, it is evident that the geographic heart of the city must become its commercial hub and its CONNECT principal transportation interchange. Of course, it will take decades for that ambition to be fully implemented but if Sydney is to realise its potential as a global city then the journey must begin now.” Gary Sturgess, Australia & NZ School of Government – Daily Telegraph 27 March 2012 DIVERSE UNIQUE WHY 2038? 2038 will be a significant year for Parramatta: it will mark 100 years since Parramatta was declared a City; it will mark the 150th anniversary of Foundation Day; INSPIRATIONAL and it will mark 250 years since European settlement in Australia. 2038 also represents a 25 year planning period – a sensible timeframe for long-term objectives to be fully realised. 02 PARRAMATTA 2038 COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN SUMMARY Parramatta is the gateway to Parramatta 2038 is a long-term Together, these Big Ideas represent Western Sydney. Home to one in 10 Community Strategic Plan for the significant levers for positive change Australians, Western Sydney is the City of Parramatta and it links to the over the next 25 years. fastest growing region of NSW. By long-term future of Sydney. It is an To help deliver Parramatta 2038, 2050, the region could house 70% of evolution of the previous Community Council has developed a four-year Sydney’s population growth but only Strategic Plan – Parramatta program of actions. These are 30% of the city’s jobs growth. Twenty25 – that has been reviewed outlined in Council’s Corporate Plan and updated. Unmanaged, this inequity will have for 2013-17.

Beyond its role in Sydney’s growth, Parramatta itself is facing enormous growth demands. To build Parramatta in a way that will support the people who work, live and visit here, plans need to be put in place to allow for 50,000 new jobs between now and 2038 – a target that goes well beyond the draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney’s target of 21,000 jobs for Parramatta and 7,000 jobs for Westmead. PARRAMATTA 2038 COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN 03 THE VISION FOR PARRAMATTA IN 2038 A VISION FOR PARRAMATTA Parramatta 2038 is the product of months of consultation with residents and stakeholders. It represents our roadmap for the next 25 years. 2038 will mark the 100th anniversary of the declaration of Parramatta as a City. By then, the City will be the driving force and heart of Australia’s most significant economic region; a vibrant home for diverse communities and a centre of excellence in research, education and enterprise. Parramatta will also be a much larger City; we’ll need an additional 50,000 jobs just to support the growth of Western Sydney. In order to sustain this growth, I have announced a range of exciting and innovative projects to support existing infrastructure, communities and businesses long into the future and to address some of the challenges this growth represents. A new light rail network will connect Parramatta’s key precincts and strategic surrounding suburbs such as Castle Hill and Macquarie Park and will help to ease congestion and pressure points. I have also announced that Council has submitted a Development Application to build the Aspire Tower at 160 Church Street. At 90 storeys, this iconic tower will be the southern hemisphere’s tallest residential tower and will set the tone of the Parramatta Square development. While these big ideas are exciting, Council will make sure we are held accountable in the short term. Big ideas do not come into fruition without establishing a plan and achievable goals. This document is that plan.

  • Interim Recreation Swimming Pool Management Plan
    Closure of Parramatta Swimming Centre - Interim Recreation Swimming Pool Management Plan May 2018 Revision history Version Date of publication Prepared by A 8 March 2017 K. Neasy, Infrastructure NSW B 23 May 2018 K. Neasy, Infrastructure NSW 2 Executive summary Western Sydney is set to be delivered a new 30,000 seat world class venue that will revolutionise the spectator experience. The stadium is the first project to be delivered under the NSW Government’s Stadia Strategy, the largest investment in sporting infrastructure since the 2000 Olympics. The Parramatta Swimming Centre is being relocated to make way for the new Western Sydney Stadium as the new venue will require a larger overall footprint, including for pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the stage one of the new Western Sydney Stadium was submitted and exhibited in August 2016 which covered concept proposal of the new stadium as well as demolition of the existing Pirtek Stadium and Parramatta Swimming Centre. This plan has been developed to meet the conditions of consent set out in Part B5 of the Stage One SSDA development consent for the Western Sydney Stadium granted in December 2016. This plan and supporting communications campaign were developed in consultation with City of Parramatta, Parramatta Park Trust and operators of alternative facilities. We also surveyed over 400 pool users and met with key pool user groups to ensure the interim arrangements in this plan meet their needs. There are a number of alternative swimming centres within a 10 kilometre radius of the swimming centre that can accommodate existing pool users until a replacement swimming centre.
