Design Parramatta

Design Parramatta. New ideas to shape the city. Multi disciplinary teams of urban designers, architects, landscape architects and artists are invited to participate in a 6 week event to design 15+ concepts for Parramatta’s public spaces, streets and lanes in a creative review of the city’s CBD. The projects will be combined to create a conceptual master plan and act as a catalyst for transformation of the city’s public spaces. A simultaneous University of Sydney design studio will be run to provide a student perspective. Design Parramatta aims to encourage collaboration and discourse by running parallel projects and promoting multidisciplinary team work. Team applications are preferred however individuals may be considered for smaller projects. Each design team shall be paid a lump sum fee of $15,000 for their concept design submission. In the event that individuals are awarded a project, the fee will be $5,000. Final concept design propositions will be promoted on the Design Parramatta website and through a future exhibition. Further development and implementation of projects beyond concept design phase will be at the discretion of Parramatta City Council. Interested parties are invited to register and submit an Expression of Interest at designparramatta.com.au.
