Acting CEO of Urban Taskforce, Stephen Fenn, today welcomed the announcement by the Minns Government to work with inner West Council to start realising the housing potential of the Parramatta Road corridor.
Despite its strategic location, plan after plan and a lack of coordination between State and Local Government has left us with a boulevard of broken dreams.
It has been more than a decade since the previous Government announced the ‘New Parramatta Road’ concept. Today’s announcement offers some hope finally that we will start seeing the rezonings required to transform one of Sydney’s greatest eyesores.
Urban Taskforce has consistently pushed for the State Government to get involved in rezoning of the Parramatta Road corridor to deliver more housing and jobs. The Government believes that the rezoning could facilitate 8,000 new homes. That should be the start.
