Greater Priority Growth Area: Interim Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plan Background Analysis June 2017 51 Constraints and Challenges Key challenges within the precinct include: zz Current inability, due to poor precinct amenity, to attract ‘high-technology’ and knowledge based industry; zz Fragmented land ownership patterns. The current lot patterns and built form in the precinct are key challenges to achieving the vision of becoming a high-technology and knowledge based employment hub. It will also require mechanisms to encourage site amalgamation; zz Limited access for large trucks and containers; zz Traffic congestion; zz Infrequent rail services; and zz Global production factors on existing tenants.

54 Greater Parramatta Priority Growth Area: Interim Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plan Background Analysis June 2017 55 Constraints and Challenges Key challenges within the precinct include: zz Limited Industrial Stock: Supply is relatively tightly held with strong leasing demand for smaller industrial units. The tight supply of stock in Silverwater results in sale prices achieved well in excess of reserve at auctions, currently driven by a strong owner occupier market; zz Growing Demand for Office Uses: While Silverwater is competitively well placed in the market, it is understood there is a growing tendency for more office-type uses, which is potentially restricted by existing planning controls; zz Small Lot Size: Even though Silverwater is broadly considered in the industry to be successful, the relatively small average lot size of 0.3 hectares limits its capacity in the future for redevelopment and densification. More than 50% of lots in the precinct are less than 1,000m2 in size.

The Granville Swimming Centre, Youth and Recreation Centre and Memorial Park are located outside the precinct on the southern side of the Western Rail Line. The RMS’s regional cycle route travels along the alignment of the M4 viaduct (at grade). Cycle routes are also located on Woodville Road/Church Street and Parramatta Road, which are busy roads, and south of the Precinct on The Avenue. Public transport services are based around the Granville Station and Bus Interchange (south of the Rail Line) which provide services to the north, west and south west. There are six bus routes provided in and around the Precinct which provide connections to the major centres to the north, south and east of the Precinct.

58 Opportunities The significant opportunities presented by this sub-precinct are: zz High accessibility to employment, recreation, entertainment and cultural facilities in the Parramatta CBD; zz Potential to extend the existing Granville town centre north and provide commercial and retail floor space to accommodate additional urban services such as supermarkets, day-to-day business services, indoor recreation opportunities and child care facilities; zz Presence of distinct employment uses across the Precinct including Auto Alley adjoining the Parramatta CBD and the Mort Street and Clyde employment lands; zz Celebrating Granville’s identity as a ‘destination’ for food by providing opportunities for restaurant space and outdoor dining; zz Good proximity to heavy rail and bus services; zz Relatively permeable blocks and wide streets which provide a strong framework to deliver high quality public domain and green links, high levels of activation and a pedestrian friendly environment; zz Incorporating heritage elements in the built form and streetscape in recognition of Granville as one of Sydney’s oldest suburbs; zz New open space areas including a new urban plaza, new local parks, opportunities to extend FS Garside Park and embellishments to land under the M4 Motorway and along Duck Creek; zz A high degree of development activity around the railway station that presents the opportunity to achieve transformation with quality and improved built form outcomes.

Close to Sydney’s second CBD at Parramatta, Granville will be a vibrant mix of new housing, shops and commercial spaces, linked by a much improved network of streets and attractive new parks and public spaces.
