Parramatta. Lobbying to continue

Parramatta City Council will continue it push for the completion of the Parramatta-Chatswood rail link. “The simple matter is that Parramatta and Western Sydney commuters need a direct connection to Macquarie Park and the lower North Shore jobs market. Despite the Government failing to deliver, yet again, Council will continue to lobby, until the Epping rail-link is back on the agenda,” said Lord Mayor Paul Garrard when commenting on no plans in the state budget to re-instate the rail-link or fund other vital sustainable transport options. Council has organised a transport forum in July with Parramatta and Western Sydney business leaders to discuss the long-term transport planning that is needed to deliver future transport infrastructure needs to support the planned growth.
