We have a bold vision to transform the southern part of Parramatta’s CBD into a vibrant new destination with a Chinatown precinct and civic square.

Our plan would create new laneways, arcades, public art and lighting to celebrate culture, colour and diversity in our City.

But we need your feedback to shape a Chinatown precinct that locals and visitors will love.
