Filming in Parramatta

Parramatta City Council encourages filming activity and welcomes artists interested in discovering our City’s backdrop.

Council has implemented the NSW Government’s film-friendly policies which are designed to cut through red tape and make approval processes easier, faster and more streamlined than ever before.

Why film in Parramatta?

Parramatta has a variety of different landscapes, including its beautiful foreshore along Parramatta River, the fascinating area along the buzzing café precinct ‘Eat Street’ at Church Street, green open spaces to small parks, city scapes and classic Sydney suburbia.

Parramatta is also known for its cultural diversity, which is displayed through its range of restaurants, cafes and historic sites.

Furthermore, Parramatta is home to a pool of local film professionals, state-of-the-art production facilities and a strong backbone of community-arts support.
