DA Lowdown: Parra Leagues lodges DA for biggest overhaul in club’s history

Juice and ice cream shop proposed in Harris Park

Parramatta City Council have received a Development Application (DA) for the change of use of an existing shop into a juice and ice cream shop at 102 Wigram Street in Harris Park.

The site is currently unoccupied and is listed as a heritage item.

“The subject site is heritage listed, and is one single storey building in a larger group of single storey buildings,” the Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) attached to the DA said.

“The proposal should ensure the heritage character of the group is maintained, whilst facilitating the ongoing preservation of the building, by use as a fresh juice and ice cream shop.”

The shop is proposed to operate from 9am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 9am to 9pm on Sundays and will operate solely on a takeaway basis and therefore will not have any seating for use by customers.

Internal renovations are proposed as the existing building has various maintenance issue including a leaking roof.
