Epping. Objection to plan

Parramatta Lord Mayor, Lorraine Wearne, has accused the NSW government of “steathly” going about drafting a development plan for the Epping town centre as part of the North West Rail Link. With no community consultation, no proper planning or urban design, the yet to be publicly released plan proposes building heights up to 27 storeys and capacity for over 4300 new homes along the Epping rail corridor, she said.

Epping. Town centre works

Parramatta City Council has committed about $900k to the rejuvenation works to the Epping Town Centre, which will commence this week aimed at improving accessibility and public amenity. The work expected to be completed by the end of September 2012.
