PARRAMATTA, SYDNEY’S GROWTH STORY
Sydney’s dramatic story of growth and change over the last decade has been driven largely by the western half of the metropolis – and the epicentre of this exciting transformation is the city of Parramatta.
The natural growth of this region has been accompanied by a powerful change in the demographics of the area. The population of Parramatta is younger, more educated, more productive, more connected and earning higher incomes than in most parts of the state. All this change represents a fantastic opportunity for progressive businesses to harness the skills, energy and talent of Sydney’s most dynamic growth story.

Sydney’s newest underground metro railway will represent a ‘once in a century’ infrastructure investment by the NSW Government, underpinning its continued commitment in enhancing the connectivity of East and West Sydney. With extensive community and industry engagement, the Sydney Metro West scope of works has been expanded and will connect the Sydney CBD to The Bays Precinct, Sydney Olympic Park, Parramatta CBD and Westmead.
Working in conjunction with the existing T1 Western Line, the rail capacity will effectively be doubled between Sydney CBD and Parramatta. In addition, linking communities not previously serviced by rail will increase housing supply, boost employment and expand the region between these two centres.

SUSTAINABILITY
To be sustainable, buildings need to consider their response to a technical and functional brief in a holistic way that also addresses lifecycle considerations and the quality of the environment they are creating for people. Design excellence means more than just a good building.
Building Performance The building design is underpinned by a variety of sustainability initiatives that will deliver exemplary environmental performance. As a minimum, the building design is aiming to achieve:
When a project transcends commercial obligations and makes a positive and generous contribution to the life and identity of a place, and is embraced by locals and visitors alike as a symbol of a place, then it will truly deserve the status of design excellence.
