Parramatta. 'New vision' for Rydalmere

Parramatta City Council will undertake a study aimed at developing a “new vision” for the long-established Rydalmere Industrial Estate, leveraging off the adjacent Rydalmere campus of the Univerity of Western Sydney. The motion put by Clr Michael McDermott, said, in part: “Identify the economic future of the estate to enable its transformation into a technology and knowledge centre for hi-tech, emerging technologies and knowledge-based businesses.” Clr McDermott said the study should consider a range of options for the redefinition of the role and purpose of the precinct, given its strategic location. He said the precinct should contain residential units. Council resolved to give the study the highest priority.
