Smart Central River City
The Smart Central River City Blueprint (PDF, 1.15 MB) lays out the opportunity for connected technologies and data solutions to celebrate the culture and history of Central River City and support its growth and transformation into a thriving, economic powerhouse.
The Central River City spans the local government areas of Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Parramatta, Georges River, The Hills and Blacktown.
It is as dynamic as it is diverse and is home to one of Sydney’s fastest-growing and strategically important economic corridors – running through Greater Parramatta and the Olympic Peninsula. The Central River City is changing rapidly to accommodate more jobs and business opportunities, rebalancing Greater Sydney’s population.
We have a vision for the Central River City to be the region’s true, connected, unifying centre, using technology and data to create a future-focused, liveable and sustainable economic corridor, with access to jobs and housing.
A Smart Central River City will provide digital connectivity and use connected technologies and data to create a place that is:
- collaborative: generating and supporting collaboration between governments and with industry
- liveable: improving liveability, and sustainability by creating places with great amenity for people to visit, live, work and play
- productive: attracting and sustaining a skilled workforce and investment in knowledge-intensive industries, from startups, scale-ups to large multi-national corporations; and a workforce
- sustainable: improving the resilience of communities and infrastructure.
The Blueprint lays out the opportunities and is guiding strategic planning and investment in smart solutions in the Central River City.
