Plans for an above-station development in Parramatta have been welcomed by key business groups.
Executive Director of Business Western Sydney David Borger said the plan for the future Parramatta Metro West site was a winner.
Two consortia have been shortlisted to deliver the mixed-use project, which has already received planning approval. The proposal includes four striking new buildings, offices, retail, dining, community spaces and around 100 new homes – all set above the new Parramatta Metro station.
“Absolutely thrilled to see the NSW Government and Sydney Metro matching the ambition we’ve championed for this site,” Borger said.
“Parramatta has the chance to create something truly different – a Metro station bursting with energy, creativity, design, art, immersive digital experiences, great food and nightlife, all spilling out into surrounding laneways and streets.”
Borger said Metro stations are once in a century investments.
“We get one chance to get them right,” he said.
“The Government is listening and acting – and we’ll keep backing them in as they bring this vision to life.”
