THE NEXT STEPS Many further steps are required to progress concept designs into reality. This includes; programming, community consultation, ongoing design and technical review, and funding approval from a range of sources including Section 94 developer contributions, Council’s special rates and other government grants.
BUILDING PROJECTS Council will develop a 16-year program to develop preferred public domain projects from the Parramatta City Centre Public Domain Framework Plan 2012 and apportion funding. The program will run on four-year cycles and be reviewed every four years to align with Council’s Delivery Program. Once a project has been scheduled for further work, the following steps will be involved: • consultation with the community, Councillors and relevant technical experts • design development leading to an approved project plan • design documentation resulting in detailed technical plans and specifications • tendering of the works • construction • ongoing management and maintenance of the places.
