Parramatta. Civic Place project closer

Parramatta City Council CEO, Dr Robert Lang, anticipates work on the $1.4 billion Civic Place redevelopment to commence mid-year, with staff parking, for approximately 100 vehicles, in the area facing Smith Street and adjacent to the Sydney Water head office, to be relocated to council’s Wentworth Street Car Park, from June. Pending a decision on whether staff would be charged a parking fee, a transition period would be set. He said he queried whether council was in the business of providing free parking when no other business in Parramatta did so.
