Proposed Harris Park Boundary Adjustment

December 2024 - Project Update

The boundary amendment proposal between Harris Park and Parramatta Boundary Amendment was considered by the Geographical Names Board at its meeting held on 12 November 2024.

The Board noted that there is no evidence to demonstrate that the current boundary is impacting the provision of services, that Harris Park is already less than the preferred minimum area of 100ha and the proposal would further reduce the size of the suburb. The Board resolved to reject the proposal to amend the boundary between Harris Park and Parramatta.

Proposed Suburb Boundary

This boundary adjustment would have seen the re-alignment of the northern boundary of Harris Park (which borders Parramatta) along the major road centrelines of Parkes Street and Hassall Street (between Station Street East and Alfred Street with the exception of Hambledon Cottage Reserve).

Public exhibition - Thank you for having your say

Council invited feedback on the proposed suburb boundary for Harris Park/Parramatta from directly impacted owners and residents from 27 November 2023 until 5pm on Friday 22 December 2023.

Please note that a maximum of two responses were accepted per directly impacted property (i.e. in the event that the property is not owner-occupied).

Following public exhibition and a review of submisisons, a report was prepared for Council consideration. The proposal was approved during a Council Meeting andthe proposed boundary changes were submitted to the Geographical Names Board (GNB) for review.
