Is an initiative by the NSW Government to improve open space and active transport links along the Parramatta Road corridor. Identified as an important urban renewal area that will be the focus for increased housing, economic activity and social infrastructure. Spanning the length of Parramatta Road, this includes land with direct frontage to Parramatta Road, as well as eight precincts which have been chosen for their ability to support growth, and their access to public transport, services and jobs. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/plans-for-your-area/infrastructure-funding/parramatta-road-urban-amenity-improvement-program
