Housing Character
Parramatta is one of Australia's oldest European settlements, and its housing stock reflects 200 years of construction. Colonial sandstone cottages in the heritage core sit alongside 1960s–80s brick veneer homes, post-2000 medium-density townhouses, and a rapidly growing high-rise apartment precinct. This diversity creates a complex environment for tradies: heritage constraints apply in the Governor's Precinct, while major infrastructure projects (Parramatta Light Rail, Westmead precinct expansion) affect access and underground services.

Colonial sandstone is extremely water-sensitive — never use cement mortar to repoint sandstone; lime-based mortar is mandatory
