Parramatta. Urban design wins award

Parramatta City Council has congratulated landscape architect firm, McGregor Coxall, after it claimed the prestigious Policies, Programs and Concepts (Small Scale) award at the 2012 Australia Award for Urban Design (AAUD). McGregor Coxall was awarded for its Parramatta River Urban Design Strategy, commissioned by council in 2011 as part of its river foreshore regeneration plan. Council is currently reviewing feasibility options for progressing the McGregor Coxall strategy. It will incorporate some of the concepts as part of its Design Parramatta project, which is an opportunity for designers, architects and artists to help transform public spaces, streets and lanes in the Parramatta CBD.
