Parramatta. New civic leader's plans

Plans by Parramatta’s new lord mayor, John Chedid, include a strong focus on commercial districts so that the CBD continued to attract new workers and by developing an innovative approach to business. “I’m confident we can cement our city’s status as one of the nation’s leading economies. I want Parramatta to be the model of economic growth in this country and set commercial benchmarks that other cities follow,” he said. Independent Councillor, Michael McDermott, has been elected as deputy lord mayor.
