The City of Parramatta is calling for feedback to help shape two of its most important guiding plans.

The two plans – known as the Community Strategic Plan and the Delivery Program and Operational Plan (DPOP) - define the goals and aspirations for our growing global City, aiming to deliver vital infrastructure and support residents living and working in the area.

City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said he wants to make sure the voices of the people who live, work, study or play in Parramatta are at the heart of Council’s priorities and plans.

“Growing up in Harris Park and running businesses in Parramatta, I’ve been part of this City’s exciting transformation and now the future is in our hands,” Cr Zaiter said.

“I invite the community to join us as we shape the next era for Parramatta and pave the way for a world of opportunity for our kids and grandkids in the best City in the world.”

“We’ve delivered City-shaping infrastructure such as Parramatta Square, Parramatta Aquatic Centre and PHIVE, but we’re only just getting started and we want the community to help set our priorities for years to come.”

The City of Parramatta is inviting groups and people of all ages to complete the survey, including:

Social and volunteer networks Not for profit organisations Sporting associations Local businesses and employees Schools, colleges and universities Peak bodies representing City of Parramatta communities

Locals can have their say online or in person at one of the pop-ups being delivered throughout our neighbourhoods. To learn more and get started, visit Participate Parramatta.

Stage one of community consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 16 December 2024. All feedback will be reviewed and used to update both the Community Strategic Plan and DPOP, as well as the Resourcing Strategy ahead of the formal public exhibition period in early-mid 2025.
