The GPOP! Conference series, is the premier gathering of key stakeholders in business, community, and government to spotlight the opportunities and challenges facing the Greater Parramatta and Olympic Peninsula region. Complementary to our Westmead Conference series, the GPOP! Conference focuses on the future opportunities for the Parramatta CBD, Sydney Olympic Park, and the communities along the Parramatta River.
Transport projects like Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 and 2 and Sydney Metro West will strengthen the connection between Sydney and Parramatta, alongside its surrounding communities making it a more attractive destination for jobs and investment. Smart placemaking and improving transport connectivity to the Olympic Peninsula are the key pillars to ensure that the precinct can reach its full potential as a residential, employment and entertainment super precinct.
At our last Conference we launched our NSW Election Investment Priorities for Sydney Olympic Park which highlighted some of the key priorities for the precinct. GPOP!23 will be an opportunity to connect with a renewed NSW Government and its vision for Sydney’s Central City. Our key focus is to address new concerns around Sydney’s housing situation, ongoing projects around transport, and future development plans.
-
How do we continue to build on the billion dollars of public and private investment in GPOP?
-
Can development in the GPOP region help to solve Sydney’s growing housing crisis?
-
What are the roles of brownfields sites like Camellia in expanding the residential and employment footprint of Parramatta?
-
How can the community continue to advocate for the delivery of Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2?
-
How will Sydney Metro West transform the centres of Parramatta and Sydney Olympic Park?
-
What are the missing pieces that are needed to build a dynamic 24-hour economy that supports work, leisure and play locally?
-
How do we lock in the legacy of the best Olympic Games ever and finally deliver on the potential of Sydney Olympic Park as a lifestyle super precinct?
We welcome you to review the attached conference prospectus. With suggested participation from some of the best minds in Australia, this Conference will focus on the strategy of making Greater Parramatta and the Olympic Peninsula a great place to attract investment and people.
