Parramatta. City Centre redevelopment

The proposed $1.4 billion Civic Place project is part of Parramatta City Council’s plans for the redevelopment of the core of the CBD. Council noted in its Integrated Transport Plan for the Parramatta City Centre that the redevelopment of the Civic Place block had commenced in 2009 with the opening of Sydney Water’s head office. Three additional blocks are included in the plans, namely, Horwood Place, Erby Place and Riverside (a block bounded by the Parramatta River, Church, Phillip and Smith streets/Wilde Avenue) all contain council car parks, “representing significant areas for redevelopment, along with private land owners”. The document said there were numerous privately-owned sites that have been mooted for development.
