Parramatta. City has potential

Parramatta has the potential to absorb greater residential and commercial density and to further develop agglomerations of economic activity in Greater Western Sydney that leverage its existing commercial and other infrastructure and exploit its central location in the region, according to an Ernst & Young report prepared for Parramatta City Council. Developing stronger social and economic infrastructure in Parramatta would alleviate traffic, into the Sydney CBD, better service a growing Greater Western Sydney population, address spatial inequality in service outcomes and improve social cohesion, the report said.
