We are proud to announce that Parramatta Chamber of Commerce are Regional Winners in the NSW Business Awards 2015.

Your Council. Your Future. Fit for the Future: Delivering better services for our community
On 22 June 2015, Parramatta City Council resolved that the future of the Council, the Local Government Area and the City lies in the need for a well-funded and resourced council at the centre of Global Sydney.
Our submission to the Fit for the Future Local Government reform process outlines a once in a generation opportunity to redefine the future of Local Government in NSW. It is an initiative aimed at creating synergies and savings for the benefit of the community.
Parramatta City Council has used the Fit for the Future program as an opportunity to propose a new Parramatta-based council with the scale and capacity to drive Sydney’s future growth and development.
This position is strongly aligned with the Government’s Metropolitan Strategy, A Plan for Growing Sydney. Equally as important, the new council would have the resources necessary to deliver increased and improved services across the whole of the LGA and would benefit all residents, not just Parramatta ratepayers.
Our submission has been made to the Independent Pricing and Regulation Tribunal which is expected to present final recommendations to the State Government in October 2015. Further information about Council’s submission can be viewed at http://www.parracity.nsw.gov.au/your_council/future_planning/fit_for_the_future
