Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

The price of tomatoes would have more to do with recent floods than anything else.
Agree re covid though.
During covid, prices went through the roof due to lack of material supply. Typically, and not surprisingly, they did not come back down as much as they should have once supplies stabilized. Labour costs have increased due to the severe cost of living increases. They won't be going back down any time soon.

I assure you, I will be visiting the new Fish Markets after they open when I'm next in town. Originally expected to open in 2024. For the life of me I can't find an expected opening date anywhere on the internet apart from some time in 2025.
The costs? Scam Central like everything else these days and forever into the future.

That is standard for a govt project. You won't know until at least a fortnight beforehand.
For sure it will open sometime this year though. I reckon sometime between September - November. They'll want it open for the summer tourist season.

Just to clarify a slight error in the article, the site isn't "directly opposite Parramatta Railway Station" but is on Argyle St between Marsden and O'Connell so past Westfield when walking west away from the station.

No worries for me mate, I am just really keen to see what they are going to end up doing with the weird shaped site that is directly opposite the railway station and thought this may have been it, so got excited.

Planning approval has been received for a vibrant new transit-orientated precinct in the heart of Parramatta’s city centre that will have fast and reliable metro services at its core.

The new hub will be made up of four state-of-the-art buildings and include around 100 new homes, office spaces, retail and dining options, community areas and car parking.

The development will integrate with the metro station below and provide easy access to alternative transport options, including Parramatta Station, bus services, and light rail stops at Macquarie and Church Streets.
Two consortia have been shortlisted to deliver the Parramatta Integrated Station Development:
• Gamuda Engineering Pty Ltd, Billbergia Pty Ltd, Gamuda (Australia) Pty Ltd and MTR Corporation (Australia)
• Lendlease Construction and Lendlease Development

The Integrated Station Development includes design and construction of the future Parramatta metro station, its precinct and the buildings above and adjacent to the station and is expected to be awarded in 2026.
The Concept State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for the over-station and adjacent development at Parramatta was exhibited for public comment. The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure considered all feedback received during its detailed assessment of the proposal.

Further SSDAs will be prepared by the future development partner and will include guidelines to inform the final design, as well as detailed design plans of the buildings. Stakeholders and the community will be invited to have their say during this process.
