Parramatta. 'Blow to future growth'

Brendan Lyon, executive director, of Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, said the recent High Court’s decision that Parramatta City Council could not compulsory acquire properties for its $1.4 billion Civic Place project, was “a significant blow to Parramatta’s future growth, throwing into jeopardy the continued economic and social development of Western Sydney”. The court said council could not acquire the properties and re-sell them to Grocon, the project’s developer. Council will appeal to the NSW Government to change the law.
