9. Report back regularly

Overview

Regular monitoring and reporting not only shows us if we’re meeting our goal of creating a living river, it helps keep our river in the mind of everyone involved and reminds them that this is a long-term project that is worth investing in.

The Masterplan Dashboard has now been established to report Masterplan progress. Sydney Water’s Community and Business Affairs Group are working with the Delivery Engine and PRCG to develop a Communications and Engagement program, this is key to keeping the implementation of the Masterplan at the forefront.

Recommendation

Undertake regular monitoring and report annually to stakeholders and the community on progress towards the Parramatta River Masterplan.
