6,000 New Apartments Slated For Parramatta

The New South Wales Government has announced the delivery of 6,000 new apartments in North Parramatta.

The 146-hectare government owned site between Parramatta River and O’Connell Street has a price tag of $2.1 billion and will see buildings as high as 30-storeys built over the next 15-20 years, preserving the abundance of heritage buildings in the precinct.

Urban Taskforce CEO Chris Johnson said it was important to balance the new development with the heritage buildings.

“The NSW Government has got the balance right with apartment towers up to 30 storeys high on those parts of the site remote from heritage and only low rise buildings nearer to the heritage precinct,” Mr Johnson said.
