A vibrant new era for Epping is on the horizon, with City of Parramatta backing a community-driven master plan for the Town Centre.
The master plan outlines a bold vision to revitalise Epping’s western precinct with lively laneways, a new town square, safer pedestrian connections and green spaces.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said the endorsement of the plan marks a significant milestone in the transformation of Epping into a modern, connected and thriving centre.
“Epping has outgrown its existing infrastructure and the community deserves a town centre that matches its growth and potential,” Cr Zaiter said.
“We’ve heard loud and clear that locals want safer pedestrian connections, more open space, and a livelier atmosphere – and that’s exactly what this plan delivers.
“Now, we’re excited to take the next step toward creating a thriving, connected, and future-ready Epping.”
At the heart of the plan is Epping Civic Place – transforming the Rawson Street car park into a vibrant public square, green link to Boronia Park, with options for future underground car parking and space for a new community hub.
The draft plan also features:
- A revitalised Rawson Street high street with wider footpaths, bike lanes and improved traffic flow
- A vibrant laneway network connecting Beecroft Road to Boronia Park, with public art, outdoor dining and seating
- A new pedestrian bridge over Beecroft Road linking the town centre directly to Epping station and retail
- Enhanced access to Boronia Park and new opportunities for local businesses
The community has played a key role in shaping the plan through its public exhibition, with majority of participants expressing support for the plan, praising its vision.
