Business Partnerships

Over the past few years, Parramatta has made enormous headway in an increasingly competitive environment. Important commercial, leisure, transport and residential and safety schemes are being delivered in Parramatta and around the City Centre. These projects are providing new visitor attractions, greater opportunities for better standards of living, enhanced transport facilities and an improved environment.

In order to build on and maintain this momentum, Parramatta Economic Development Partnerships was formed to provide a mechanism for Parramatta City to form partnerships with key stakeholders and partners whose influence, resources, commitment and activities are needed to continue Parramatta’s positive transformation. Parramatta has already had the advantage of strong partnerships in the past; these will be further developed, extended and made more productive to ensure that the vision of Economic Development Partnerships becomes a reality and Parramatta becomes a strategic centre within Sydney’s growth.

The Parramatta Economic Development Partnerships vision is to enable and support business development , transport infrastructure and social and environmental enhancements within Parramatta over the coming 25 years, in line with the Parramatta Twenty25 strategic framework. The strategic plan to deliver on this vision, and presented here, will concentrate on issues relating to physical developments, access, security, marketing and building an attractive destination. Whilst providing guidance as to the future direction of Parramatta, the strategic plan will be sufficiently flexible to respond to changes in the market and to new opportunities that could benefit Parramatta and ultimately, the economies of Sydney and New South Wales.
