Community invited to shape the future of 5 Parramatta Square

Construction of City of Parramatta Council’s iconic $130 million community, cultural and civic building is under way and the public has an opportunity to shape its offerings.

Council is inviting the community to have their say on the types of activities and programs they would like to experience at 5 Parramatta Square.

“5 Parramatta Square is a building for our community − a world-class cultural hub where people can work, create, learn, play and connect,” City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Bob Dwyer said.

“We’re interested in hearing what types of workshops, programs, classes, activities and events would encourage people to come and visit 5 Parramatta Square and Sydney’s Central River City.

“Whether it be art exhibitions, exercise classes, robotics workshops, live music performances or expert talks, we want to hear your innovative ideas. You can write to us, fill in a survey or even send in pictures and videos about what you’d like the spaces to feel like.”

5 Parramatta Square will be the final addition to the new $2.7 billion Parramatta Square precinct, set for completion in 2022.

It will include a new state-of-the-art library; Discovery Centre with interactive exhibitions; multipurpose meeting and creative spaces; a ground-floor foyer with concierge, visitor services and café; and the new Council Chambers.

Submissions close at 5pm on Thursday 5 November. To have your say, visit Participate Parramatta.
