City of Parramatta is upgrading Brodie Street, Rydalmere as part of its Better Neighbourhoods Program (BNP). The BNP is an integrated program that works to upgrade and activate local centres, for the long-term social, environmental and economic sustainability of our neighbourhoods.
The designs have been informed by further site investigations, policy and community feedback. Features of the plans include:
Images of the colourful new mural featuring native Australian plants and animals which has transformed the 40-metre shopfront. The large-scale public artwork by artist Claire Foxton.

We anticipate construction will begin early in 2021. Businesses and residents will be consulted throughout the design processes and notified of all dates for construction.
The contracted construction company will work with businesses to ensure access to their premises is maintained throughout the duration of the works.
To ensure that the current pedestrian crossing meets Australian Road standards there will need to be no stopping restrictions both before and after the crossing. This may reduce in some parking loss, but this will be detailed as the design progresses.
The Better Neighbourhood Program (BNP) is a long-running and successful Council program that focuses on the capital upgrades of local centres outside of the Parramatta CBD. The BNP commenced in 1999 and delivers improvements to centres with the goal of enhancing safety, vitality and economic prosperity.
Between 2011 and 2019, Council invested $11,761,333 in BNP projects, which consist primarily of:
Areas are prioritised for upgrade based on a number of factors, including the condition of the centre, its vibrancy, and its connectivity. The community voice also plays an important role and nearly 400 local residents provided feedback to prioritise projects in 2018/19 and 2019/20.
Every two years City of Parramatta’s Place Services team audit the 45 centres on the local government area and score them based on asset condition, accessibility, shade cover, potential for outdoor dining, vacancy rates etc. The centres that are determined to be ‘most in need’ at that point in time are prioritised for funding.
