This is a good plan (and I don't say that often) and highlights that the region should be focussing on the brownfields of Parramatta before the greenfields of far western Sydney to minimise environmental impacts of new construction and long distance travel. This plan takes advantage of the City's location and its transport assets and potentials, correctly identifying missing Metro stations (Rosehill and Silverwater) that need to be accounted for, and missing links (Parramatta to Epping) that should be high priority.
A major new vision has been released for Parramatta as a city of five connected districts, built around a pitch for new Metro stations at Rosehill and Silverwater >> https://lnkd.in/gEwejccA The draft plan would build on Parramatta's rich cultural life to become an epicentre of creativity for Sydney, adding contemporary art, live music and nightlife venues to the ambitious work underway at Riverside Theatres and Powerhouse Parramatta. This would complement a bigger program of festivals, sport and entertainment, including a strong focus on esports. A continuous green corridor along the river from Lake Parramatta to Sydney Olympic Park, with world leading First Nations partnerships and globally connected university campuses, completes the vision. The draft Parramatta 2050 plan is on public exhibition until Friday 19 July >> https://lnkd.in/gQVf3j7X Gail Connolly PSM, Angela Jones-Blayney, City of Parramatta, Augusta Supple, Aileen Robalino, Michael Jollon, Pierre Esber, Donna Davis, Australian Turf Club, Steve McMahon, Jo Haylen, David Borger, Tom Nance, Dr Rhonda Itaoui, PhD, Patricia Prociv, Anthony Segaert, Craig McMaster, Lisa Havilah, Georgina Valjak, Anne Loxley, Emily McDaniel, Josh Murray, Helen Machalias, Annette Pitman, Jeremy Kelshaw, Clare Holland, Nikki Brogan, Powerhouse, Riverside Theatres, Katherine (Katie) Papagianis, Cred Consulting, Emilia Hallström, Belinda Comninos, Astrolabe Group
