Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy
The Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy covers land along the length of Parramatta Road from Granville to Camperdown.
The strategy covers areas within one block of the road, with larger areas at each of the following precincts:
- Granville
- Auburn
- Homebush
- Burwood and Concord
- Five Dock
- Taverners Hill
- Leichhardt
- Camperdown.
Parramatta Road is a pivotal corridor that connects Parramatta with the Sydney central business district. Since 2016, there have been plans to revitalise the corridor. These were put on hold while several traffic studies were underway.
We have prepared a state-led rezoning proposal for Homebush as part of the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program. This draft rezoning proposal aims to implement the vision for Homebush outlined in the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy. It has some changes to respond to issues such as the Metro and the need for more housing. The changes will help deliver more diverse and well-located homes close to key public transport infrastructure.
Visit the Homebush state-led rezoning precinct for more information.
We have been working with local councils to implement the strategy and support development along the corridor.
In December 2022, we finalised the City of Canada Bay Council’s Stage 1 Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy planning proposal, which rezoned parts of Concord West, supporting the delivery of up to 570 new homes.
For more information view the Parramatta Road Urban Transformation Strategy 2016.
Implementation Update 2021
The Implementation Update 2021 (PDF, 388 KB) is an addition to the current strategy. It allows planning proposals to be lodged with us, receive a gateway determination and go on public exhibition while the traffic studies are being completed.

The Implementation Update 2021 also provides actions to respond to changes in the policy and the infrastructure context since the strategy’s release. These changes include councils along the corridor completing local strategic planning statements and preparing local housing strategies. The changes also consider work we and Transport for NSW have done on related infrastructure projects.
The Ministerial Section 9.1 Direction for Parramatta Road (1.5) has also been updated to reference Implementation Update 2021.
We are also providing up to $198 million for the Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement Program to improve open space and active transport links along the Parramatta Road corridor. The program brings state agencies and local councils together to collaborate on projects that will improve public amenity in the corridor.
