Jury comment

Your Parramatta Park 2030 is about the future of green space for our growing cities. The significant site is a complex piece of open space that consists of remnant Cumberland Plain Woodland, the Parramatta River and its creeks, open grasslands, sporting fields and heritage structures. There is a sense of leadership and passion from the leading team at the Parramatta Park Trust, and this plan effectively balances the many themes and needs to bring them together harmoniously. The extensive understanding of site from a multitude of disciplines and cultures has informed a rich and responsive strategy. The plan provides the opportunity to preserve history and a platform for learning that manages anticipated future needs. The project is a beautifully presented document that has been well thought out in order to be accessible to a broad audience.
