With construction scheduled to begin early June 2024, City of Parramatta is excited to be delivering a unique scenic and cultural destination for our community to enjoy.
Stewart Street Reserve, at the heart of the Parramatta River foreshore, will be redesigned to provide a cantilevered viewing platform – a dramatic vantage point from which to enjoy ever-changing views of the Parramatta River.
City of Parramatta has recently undertaken design improvement on the Stewart Street lookout. The amendment includes minimising visual impact on the river corridor, additional planting, and more seating.
The $1M project is being jointly funded by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment’s 'Places to Roam' Program ($500k) with the City of Parramatta investing a further $500K in the project to create a vibrant and engaging public space.
The escarpment lookout presents an opportunity for a new gathering space for relaxation, celebration, reflection and enjoyment that is safe and accessible for all users. The plan includes a cantilevered platform structure that would offer views directly over Parramatta River, new paths, seating, feature tree planting and bushland planting.
The Stewart Street Reserve Escarpment Lookout is expected to be completed in late-2024 will link the Escarpment Boardwalk and Charles Street Square as ‘must-do’ visitor destinations.
