Parramatta’s ambitious plan to become western Sydney’s job engine has taken a vital step with Council’s draft City Economy Strategy 2025-2035 now on public exhibition.
The Strategy is designed to help Council identify key projects and opportunities to reach its goal of creating 150,000 extra jobs by 2050 across the local area.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Martin Zaiter said it’s another great opportunity for the community to tell Council what is important to them as the City grows and changes over the next 25 years.
“Council is determined to pull all the levers we can to achieve our ambitious goal of creating 150,000 additional jobs by 2050, so that future residents have jobs across a range of sectors close to home,” Zaiter said.
Council’s City Economy Strategy contains three key priorities, Productivity, Place and People. It sets actions that Council undertakes over the next four years to drive employment growth in Parramatta.
“Once complete, this strategy will keep Council on track towards our Parramatta 2050 goals, transforming our area into the economic powerhouse of Greater Sydney and beyond,” Zaiter said.
