North Parramatta is set to welcome Duba Lane and Wali Lane to its map after Council endorsed the naming proposal at its ordinary meeting.

The City of Parramatta is calling on the community to acknowledge and honour the exceptional contributions of local individuals or groups, with nominations open for the City’s Citizen of the Year awards.

More than 5400 people were invited to take the citizenship pledge at a number of packed ceremonies at Riverside Theatres, with people from India, China, Philippines, Pakistan and Iran making up the largest share of new citizens calling Australia - and Parramatta - home.

City of Parramatta has introduced a temporary load limit on Bennelong Parkway Bridge that crosses Haslams Creek at Wentworth Point.

A 5-tonne load limit is in place after structural engineers recently recommended investigating the condition of the bridge.
