T
HE NSW Government is investing $13.9M in Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) station upgrades in Parramatta and Wentworthville. The station upgrades and rebuild form part of a $98.7M capital investment by the in addition to the $42.2M being invested to operate a new 24-hour fire station at Badgerys Creek. The Parramatta precinct project includes the expansion of Parramatta Fire Station, supporting future growth and meeting the increasing operational demands of the area, while Wentworthville receives a new fit-for-purpose station. Work is underway to upgrade Parramatta Station, with completion expected in early 2026. Once work at Parramatta is complete, Wentworthville Station will be demolished and rebuilt, delivering a new purposebuilt facility for Western Sydney by the end of 2027. During construction of the new station, Wentworthville firefighters will be temporarily relocated to the upgraded Parramatta Fire Station. As well as support from Parramatta, Wentworthville and surrounds will continue to be serviced by staff at Merrylands, Rydalmere and Seven Hills.
