Electrify City of Parramatta!

City of Parramatta Council has electrified!
On 2 December 2022, Parramatta Council was one of the first NSW councils to pass changes to its Development Control Plan which requires all-electric appliances in new commercial and residential buildings within the Parramatta City Centre. This was the first such requirement for new homes and commercial buildings in NSW by a local council. In August 2025, the council voted to consult the community on a proposal to expand their electrification requirements for new residential buildings across the rest of the LGA. At the 11 August Council meeting, the council voted to consult the community on a proposal to expand the council’s existing electrification requirements that apply to the Parramatta City Centre, to the entire LGA. The proposal would require new multi-unit housing developments to be all-electric without gas, excluding new detached homes and new commercial premises.

Why is this important?

All-electric, gas-free homes and businesses are: 

  • Good for the climate, as less energy is needed to heat and cool electric, efficient homes and businesses, reducing our reliance on polluting gas. 
  • Good for our health, as electric appliances like stoves, heaters and cooktops don’t produce the harmful toxins and pollution that gas ones do
  • Cheaper to run, meaning lower energy bills, especially for renters and people on low incomes
