Exclusive: Lucy Turnbull warns Parramatta precinct must avoid 'mistakes' of Green Square, Leppington | michaelkoziol
Greater Sydney Commission boss Lucy Turnbull has warned governments must avoid the mistakes of Green Square and Leppington in a massive redevelopment of Parramatta and Olympic Park over the coming decade.
"Let's be up-front about what is needed and when it's needed and do it the right way at the right time." But that has irked organisations such as the Western Sydney Business Chamber, which was critical of several elements of the commission's plan in a submission it lodged last week. The business chamber also complained the commission had allocated insufficient resources for theatres and live entertainment spaces, with just 0.8 per cent of the total capital spend in Parramatta and Olympic Park earmarked for cultural infrastructure.
