UrbanGrowthNSW Development

Corporation’s vision is to inspire and enable

the creation of extraordinary places.

In line with its vision, UrbanGrowthNSW is

bringing together economic, social and

environmental benefits to create

extraordinary places for future generations

within the Parramatta North Growth Centre.

The Growth Centre’s two key government-

led projects are the Cumberland Health,

Education and innovation precinct, and

bringing the nationally listed publicly owned

Heritage Core to life as a place of discovery,

opportunity, reflection and experience.

We sought the knowledge and

perspectives of many community

members and precinct partners to

better understand their values,

views and vision for the site.

This latest engagement process

sought to deeply understand

people’s connection to the heritage

core and learn more about the

unmet needs and opportunities in

an area undergoing significant

change.

What we heard

You are deeply interested in the Aboriginal story of this

place, that you respect the land and people and would like

to know more, as you want to learn and share with others.

You would like to pay respect and give back. That we

should do something in the future that respects and

honours the past experiences of the site.

You want to know more. That this is an extraordinary

place and that we should find ways to tell its multiple

stories relating to the different landcapes and the

interconnectedness of each one – stories of the river, the

land, the people, the buildings, and of change.

You want this place to be open and accessible to all.

There is a critical need for places for people to come

together and connect.

The green spaces are highly prized, and they are a

place of refuge, healing and reflection. The

rejuvenation of Parramatta River is central to this.

You think the artists and makers, the entrepreneurs

and innovators, the cooks and the chefs, and the

growers and the gardeners of our region should be

here.

You are interested in enterprise and self-

determination.

It’s a precinct of buildings, not just the one

building, they all relate to each other.

There is no other precinct like this in

Parramatta, other buildings are separated

and stand alone, whereas these are

unified and connected.”
