Parramatta. New operations centre

Parramatta City Council believes the sale of its depots at Granville, Parramatta and Rydalmere will fund the acquisition, design and construction of a new operations centre. Council has approved the acquisition of a 3.2-hectare site, from Bunnings, at 316 Victoria Road, Rydalmere. Over 100 staff in Civic Place will be relocated by the end of 2014. Council sold its disused Granville site, at 23 Elizabeth Street, for $2.02 million in June 2011, according to council’s 2010/11 annual report.
