The City of Parramatta Council, formerly known as Parramatta City Council, is a local government area in the western suburbs of Sydney, situated where the Cumberland Plain meets the Hornsby Plateau, approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of the Sydney central business district, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The City occupies an area of 84 square kilometres (32 sq mi) with an estimated population of 230,167 in 2015. The City houses the Parramatta central business district, the second largest employment destination for the metropolitan area after the Sydney central business district.
The area was formed in 1861 as the Municipality of Parramatta, became The Borough of Parramatta in 1867, Parramatta City Council in 1938, and was reconsititued on 12 May 2016 as the City of Parramatta Council. In 1948 Ermington-Rydalmere, Dundas, Granville and Parramatta councils were amalgamated; and in 2016 parts of The Hills Shire, Auburn City, Holroyd City and Hornsby Shire were amalgamated with the former City of Parramatta to form the new City of Parramatta Council.
The Administrator of the City of Parramatta Council is Amanda Chadwick, until the elections for councillors to take place on 9 September 2017.
