Culture and Our City

Our CBD Cultural Plan celebrates what makes Parramatta unique and outlines our aspirations for a vibrant, inclusive, and culturally rich city. It recognises culture as a driving force for community connection, economic prosperity, and storytelling - anchored in our deep Aboriginal heritage and historic significance.

The plan places First Nations peoples at the heart of our cultural leadership, while also strengthening beloved arts and heritage platforms to meet the needs of a growing, dynamic population. As Parramatta evolves, this roadmap ensures we preserve what we love, revitalise what needs support, and embrace new opportunities to shape a sustainable and globally influential city.
