Controversial DA returns
An originally refused DA is back before Parramatta Council for consideration after modifications.
A DA for the demolition of existing structures and construction of a two storey, 56 place childcare centre with basement car parking at 73 Murray Farm Road in Carlingford has been lodged with Council.
In 2023, Parramatta Council originally refused the DA.

Parramatta Council will now assess this application.
