VISION Authors BAJAJ, Eesha BOCK Sophie Catherine CHAUHAN, Sagar 2021

Parramatta 2.0 will be a well connected economic powerhouse of Greater Sydney uniting Westmead, Parramatta River, Parramatta Park and the CBD with a world class health and innovation precinct to provide a resilient, inclusive, healthy city at the heart of the Central River District.

The precinct will strive to become a global destination for education and focus on starting and growing more successful businesses; create equitable communities; and become a developmental template for future projects.

THEMES Four themes help deliver the Strategic Vision for Westmead, Parramatta and its surrounds

Economy compliment existing economic drivers with fastest growing job sectors

Connectivity focus on metropolitan connectivity and an interconnected local network to promote walking and public transport options

Liveability support public and private infrastructure to cater to growing diverse populations

Resilience create a resilient precinct where communities can manage climate change and natural hazards

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and pays their respects to Elders past, present and future. We honour Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to place and their rich contribution to our society.

FOREWORD The strategic vision for Westmead, Parramatta and its surrounds has been formulated to compliment the objectives set out in GSC's 'A Metropolis of Three Cities.' The vision for three cities is a bold vision for three, integrated and connected cities that will rebalance Greater Sydney – placing housing, jobs, infrastructure and services within easier reach of more residents, no matter where they live.

This document focusses upon Central RIver City; and the development of Westmead, Paramatta and its surrounds as a second CBD to balance and alleviate the immense pressure of development that City of Sydney LGA faces at present. The creation of a second CBD in the heart of Central River City will link key employment centres in the Central City to the rest of Greater Sydney. This will help the area to deliver the much needed spaces for agglomeration of jobs.

The vision capitalises on the existing economic drivers i.e. Westmead Health Precinct; Parramatta CBD; Parramatta Park; and taps the potential the central location that the area enjoys. This is complimented by increased connectivity to metropolitan centres and an interconnected transport network promoting walking and public transport.

This strategic document is a comprehensive outline for achieving a knowledge precinct.

The document works in its strategic context bringing together the strengths of various Mteropolitan, District and Local strategic visions. A holistic overview of this strategic context is presented within the report. An analysis of the site strengths and opprtunities; and an understanding of its weaknesses and plausible threats is presented. This analysis dictates the vision, direction and phasing outlined in this document.

Parramatta 2.0 is located at the geographic center of Greater Sydney, approximately 23 kilometers from the Sydney CBD and

36 kilometers from Penrith. It is located in the Central River City, one of three cities

identified in the Greater Sydney Region Plan (GSRP), A Metropolis of Three Cities. The

Central River City sits between the Eastern

Harbor City and the Western Parkland City, the growth of which will be supported by the new Western Sydney Aerotropolis at Badgerys Creek.

The GSRP sees Sydney in 2036 as a

polycentric city with multiple major

employment centers, each connected by

public transport infrastructure and providing high levels of amenity for residents and

commuters. This Strategic Plan sets out a detailed vision for the central city, which 10

centers for 2051. This analysis shows a lack of direct connections from Parramatta 2.0

to several job centers and strategic centers including Western Sydney Airport, Marsden Park, Norwest Business Park, Epping and

Macquarie Park. Connections to our precinct from these locations will require change of

transport modes, indirect routes, driving, long travel times at BAU levels.

Liverpool, Fairfield, St Marys and Blacktown are connected to the precinct, however

they are not connected by direct routes to

each other. This reflects a lack of transport investment in Western Sydney, and

contributes to the jobs deficit in Western Sydney.

Forecasts for job numbers for 2051 have

been calculated based on available figures 76

and jobs growth rates in Strategic Plans and documents for each center. The Sydney

CBD is forecast to have 700 000+ jobs by 2051 and Macquarie Park more than 200

000, with Penrith a close third. This suggests

that the existing economic corridor between Macquarie Park and Sydney Airport,

encompassing the CBD, will continue to grow.

Parramatta 2.0 will support 230 000 jobs by 2051.

The removal of the Cheonggyecheon Freeway in Seoul and its replacement

with a revitalised stream and recreation area has demonstrated significant connectivity, environmental, social and economic benefits for the city.

A four-lane overpass was built over the Cheonggyecheon river stream in

Seoul in 1971. By the early 2000s the road was carrying 169 000 cars per day.

(Williams, 2019). In 2003 a $281 million restoration project was launched to

remove the highway and revitalize the lost stream. The project included the

construction of 22 bridges over the stream to improve connections between the north and south of Seoul. (Williams, 2019).

The project has had considerable economic benefits, attracting 64000 visitors a day and increasing the number of businesses in the Cheonggyecheon

area between 2002-2003 by 3.5% (Landscape Architecture Foundation, 2010).

The project reduced car usage for trips to downtown Seoul, with the number of vehicles entering the area decreasing by 2.3% and bus and metro users increasing by 1.4% and 4.3% (McKinsey, p. 30).

To cater to the vulnerable populations, the site will focus on introducing affordable

dashed green) that covers shared streets

and pedestrianized streets. This network links local businesses and cultural destinations.

Strategy 1 Plan for the adaptation of community and urban environments to climate change.

Flood mitigation is achieved through the

habitat corridor created through reclamation of land along the waterways. This extended floodplain allows the waterways to swell

in its natural setting while protecting the

built environment. The habitat corridor also provides for activity spaces along the river.

Strategy 2 Plan urban spaces to tackle impacts of flooding and storms.

This is further detailed in the focus area map to be discussed later on.

The key objective for resilience is to establish effective collaborations between councils in Greater Sydney Region for detailed climate mapping to inform Flood & Urban heat

Strategy 3 Create an efficient and well-designed city in its landscape to tackle urban heat and heatwaves

3. Flood Mapping for whole of Sydney incomplete.

4. No Holistic Flood Management Plan for Sydney.

5. Lack of collaboration between councils to manage ow of water through the course of the rivers.

BENCHMARKING STRATEGY !. Identiication of cities with issues of river ooding and stormwater ooding.

Cities preparing for maximum probale ood to be prepared for all eventualities. The Precinct suffers from localised storms and heavy ooding that causes runoff to waterways leading to oriver over-ow into the oodplains.

2. Cities proposing best practice solutions with multifaceted responses to ash ooding.

Existing research and literature suggests that ash ooding requires a variety of responses. Precedents were sourced from countries such as Netherlands and France with a history of structural, non-structural and policy responses to deal with ooding.

3. Existing Literature & Research on ood mitigation.

To evaluate the effects of bridges and weirs on water ows during ood to understand water ows at the junction of non tidal section and estaurine section of Parramatta River.

4. Designing for a life with water Precedents that have implemented added beneets to urban landscape and place making while alleviating river and stormwater ooding. Strategies that consider water as a piece of urban environment.

5.5 DELIVERING CONNECTIVITY Calculations for the numbers of people able to commute into and out of the precinct

were prepared based on the capacity of

each public transport mode (per service) multiplied by the number of services per hour, based on the known frequency of

each mode. This process was carried out

for the existing scenario, labelled Business As Usual on the understanding that if no

other public transport projects are added to the precinct this will be the total capacity of commuters in 2051. The process was then

repeated for each Strategic Option, adding services for light rail, metro and bus. This enabled the peak hour capacity for each

option to be calculated and compared. We were then able to add new public transport infrastructure in order to ensure our final

Strategic Option for Parramatta 2.0 provides sufficient public transport for 230,000 commuters to work in the precinct.
