Parramatta. Lanes policy on exhibition

Parramatta City Council has on public exhibition its draft Parramatta City Centre Lanes Policy. An extensive network of some 57 lanes exists in the CBD, many of which are in sites which could undergo extensive redevelopment over the next 20 years. The policy aims seeks to retain and improve the network by retaining well-located lanes, extending short lanes and creating new lanes as redevelopment occurs. It also recommends improving lanes safety and ambience by activating them with small businesses, entrances and cafes on the ground floor, in appropriate locations.
