Legal & Justice Precinct
Parramatta is the second largest legal precinct in Greater Sydney, located in the midst of Western Sydney’s two-million strong population. In August 2021, the Parramatta Legal & Justice Coalition was formed to advocate and promote an expanded legal and justice precinct in Parramatta to transform the CBD into one of Australia’s key legal hubs.
Parramatta’s Legal and Justice Precinct
Parramatta is located in the centre of Western Sydney’s two-million-strong population and is home to the second largest legal and justice precinct in Greater Sydney, behind the Sydney CBD. The Parramatta Legal and Justice Precinct is accessible to the Sydney CBD, Western Sydney, and key centres like Parramatta North and Westmead, via Parramatta Train Station and the new Parramatta Light Rail.
Parramatta Legal & Justice Coalition
In August 2021, the Parramatta Legal & Justice Coalition was formed to advocate and promote access to justice in Western Sydney and to expand the Legal and Justice Precinct in Parramatta to transform the CBD into one of Australia’s key legal hubs.
Along with a permanent Supreme Court presence, the Coalition is advocating for a new law school and more jobs in the Parramatta CBD. It is estimated that with further investment an expanded Parramatta Legal and Justice Precinct could attract 2,200 more jobs by 2036, attracting more than $350 million a year to the local economy and further cementing Parramatta’s position as the geographic heart of Sydney.
Coalition members include representatives from City of Parramatta Council, top law firms, universities, and business groups. To discuss how you can contribute to the Coalition’s activities and promote access to justice in and around Parramatta, please email: economicdevelopment@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au.
