Playing surface looks alright in that shot. Are the risdential towers at the top of shot built on the old grass parking lot from the Endeavour Field days - or am I 180 degrees out?

No, you are correct. They are built on the old grass carpark.

It was always meant to be completed in 2023.

I think after the light rail out my way finishing over budget and so, so late an on time finish for Parra light rail is prolly a celebration for the government.

The Museum will be built. It is already under construction.
The tree has remained.
This will be an amazing addition to Parramatta and all the bullshite crying about all the false claims re flooding will soon be forgotten. The old house will also be rebuilt elsewhere.
Thank god we have a govt who are prepared to push past through the minority of vocal protestors.
Now, all we need is for the Leagues Club hotel to also get approved.

So, the Walker Tower is all but complete.
The Civic Centre (red roof) should be complete late '23.
The public domain area of Parra Square should be open and accessible from Church st around Jul/August.

Yes.

 

[Twizzle]

Yes.

so does Parra have another golf course somewhere else now ?

 

[strider]

Somebody think of the golfers ffs

I imagine its not the whole golf course. Probably enough land for a few holes. Just make up your own score for 3 holes lost

No it doesn't.
Parramatta Golf Course closed about 15 years ago and the area has just been parklands ever since.

that should happen to all golf courses.

Parra golf course was only 9 holes anyway... I think Fox Hills (Girraween) isn't far away, neither is Woodville (Guildford).

We need a new put putt course somewhere, once they got rid of the one near Ermington/Ryde.
