Parramatta. Council 'kept in the dark'

Parramatta Lord Mayor, Paul Garrard, has serious concerns about the state government’s Telopea Urban Renewal Concept Plan after the proposal to increase both public and private housing by 1900 dwellings, over the next 10 years, failed to address a number of key issues. The plan’s first stage includes the development of 500 public housing dwellings, followed by a further 1400 dwellings for private use. “This is a massive re-development which will have a significant impact on the area, yet residents and other key stakeholders, including Council, continue to be kept in the dark,” Clr Garrard said.
