Regional Context Diagram Key Issues
Westmead
• Granville is located in the south east of Parramatta. In the recent council amalgamation, the precinct is divided into two councils. The northern part of the railway is included in the City of Parramatta Council, while the Southern part belongs to the Cumberland Council. This becomes a constraint for formulating an integrated plan for the whole precinct because each council has its own plan. • The location makes Granville the first precinct that is included in the Parramatta Road Corridor Plan. • There are four major destinations surrounding Granville which could potentially attract people to visit or live in Granville, which are the Parramatta CBD, Sydney Olympic Park, Auburn Botanic Garden and Merryland Town Centre.

• Different local municipalities with different plans for the northern and southern parts of the precinct • Topography - the railway and the main streets are relatively in the same elevation. • Lack of public transport on The Avenue and Railway Parade • Heritage items and conservation area might hinder redevelopment 3

Key Design Moves
Highlevel Quantification
Granville is designed to accommodate more people and provide more jobs. Therefore, a superblock with high FSR is created, and the mixed use area FSR in southern part could be increased, while the blocks near the park could be coverted to make a bigger regional park.
