Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvements (PRUAIP)
Project overview
The Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement Program (PRUAIP) is a $198 million initiative by the NSW Government to improve open space and active transport links along the Parramatta Road corridor.
The program brings state agencies and local councils together to collaborate on projects that will improve public amenity.
We are collaborating with Strathfield Council to deliver improvements along Parramatta Road, Homebush as part of this program.
