You are invited to Have Your Say on the City of Parramatta Council’s draft City Economy Strategy 2025-2035 (the draft Strategy) which is now on public exhibition for a period of 6 weeks.
The draft Strategy incorporates and responds to new economic aims established in Council’s Parramatta 2050 vision – including Council’s ambitious goal of 150,000 new jobs across the City by 2050.
The draft Strategy can be viewed here: https://participate.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/city-economy-strategy
IN SUMMARY:
- Council is exhibiting the Draft City Economy Strategy (‘the Draft Strategy’). It is a 10-year Strategy that sets the vision for Parramatta to become a City ready for the future, able to harness economic opportunities, and share the benefits of its success with its community.
- The Strategy builds on Parramatta 2050, Council’s long-term Global City vision, to guide the City’s transformation. Parramatta 2050 sets out several Game Changers including “Western Sydney’s Jobs Engine” that define how over the next 25 years Parramatta will become a global city. This vision includes an ambitious goal of 150,000 new jobs across the city by 2050, and the Draft City Economy Strategy responds directly to this goal.
- Council’s commitment extends beyond the Parramatta City Centre to encompass our diverse neighbourhoods, communities, and industries.
- The City Economy Strategy works in concert with a number of other plans at Council (e.g. Night Time Economy, Visitor Economy, Integrated Transport Strategy, etc.) and does not seek to duplicate the efforts of these strategies
