Community Love

Fuelled by ambition, Parramatta is transforming. Our people are at the forefront of innovation, driving growth in scale, population, industry, innovation, and lifestyle.

Parramatta is known as the City of Rivers. It’s also a City made up of a brilliant mosaic of people who have built lives here and, by contributing to our community, have created a better place for all. That simple yet powerful idea became the starting point for ‘Community Love,’ a project that celebrates our people — artists, educators, business owners, social entrepreneurs, conservationists and volunteers.
