Ten Councils along the Parramatta Road corridor were asked to enter a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UrbanGrowth to have a say in the planning of this corridor. City of Sydney is the sole council in the eastern precinct of the Parramatta Corridor and hence has will have its own agreement with UrbanGrowth NSW for planning work on this corridor. As the City of Sydney have a number of other UrbanGrowth precincts within its borders (Central to Eveleigh, Green Square and part of the Bays Precinct) there is also a proposed MOU between City of Sydney and UrbanGrowth covering the City working with UrbanGrowth NSW accross the Sydney Local Government area. Here you can find details of the MOUs.
