Parramatta. Sydney Water's boost to economy

Parramatta City Council estimates the relocation of Sydney Water’s head office, from the Sydney CBD to Parramatta is likely to generate up to 2000 additional jobs in the local economy. The 23,000-square-metre purpose-built building, the first in the proposed $1.4 billion Civic Place development, will accommodate 1400 workers. Direct, industrial and consumption effects are estimated to deliver a total $1.4 billion to the local economy council said. A major Sydney Water supplier, MWH Australia Pty Ltd, which specialises in transport, water engineering and consultancy services, is next month moving its 40 staff from St Leonards to Parramatta
