New Parramatta Rd is a program to renew the urban corridor from the Sydney CBD to the City of Parramatta. The corridor connects 10 Local Government Areas that are home to almost one million people.
The Parramatta Road Urban Renewal Program looks to the needs of future generations. It will:
- Create new connections between the communities along Parramatta Road
- Provide housing choice for buyers and renters
- Improve public and active transport connections
- Enhance the road network
- Generate jobs, especially in the West
- Make for a healthier environment.
The strategy proposes that the renewal will be focused in eight strategic Precincts located at Granville, Auburn, Homebush, Burwood, Kings Bay (part of Five Dock), Taverners Hill, Leichhardt and Camperdown.
Following feedback, a final Strategy and Integrated Land Use and Transport Concept will be adopted, the timing of which could be by the end of 2015. Allowing for a further planning implementation phase, the first new development not already in the pipeline could be expected to commence in 2018.
