JMD design were engaged by Parramatta City Council to lead a multidisciplinary team in the transformation of the civic centre of Parramatta, Centenary Square (formally Church Street Mall). The revitalisation aimed at providing a comfortable gathering space for the diverse community of Parramatta whilst also improving connectivity and passive surveillance and re-establishing the space as the civic centre of the city to cater for large community events. The design establishes an identity and character unique to the city and serves as the catalyst for the future expansion of the city within Parramatta Square. The project was constructed by Design Landscapes.
Congratulations to all involved in this significant project!
