Parramatta. Workshop on boosting sector

Participants at a workshop, in Parramatta, on February 16 will be tasked with uncovering the key challenges facing the further growth of the Parramatta CBD as a major centre both regionally and internationally, for the finance and professional services sector. RDA Sydney said a greater representation of these industries is needed in areas such as the booming Western Sydney, as well as the further development of the finance and business services hubs located in Parramatta, Norwest, Penrith and Liverpool.
