City of Parramatta is transforming. Population growth, new housing, jobs and infrastructure are changing the area from a suburban centre into Sydney’s Central City: the centre of services, infrastructure and employment for Western Sydney.

City of Parramatta is home to many unique neighbourhoods, which have their own distinct demographic qualities, from Winston Hills to Westmead to Wentworth Point.
