Parramatta Advertiser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parramatta Advertiser serves the communities of Parramatta and Holroyd local government areas and plays an important role in delivering news and information to the region. It has the biggest circulation in the area and is committed to covering the latest breaking news, sport, council decisions, and community events every week.

The paper was awarded the Best Community Newspaper in New South Wales with a circulation of more than 40,000 in 2005. It places importance on community engagement, which is demonstrated by its regular involvement with community and business initiatives, such as the preservation of Old Government House and the Business Achiever Awards program, established to recognise outstanding business in the local community. The Parramatta Advertiser is an active member of the business community, involved in the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce, Riverside Theatre, Parramatta Eels NRL club, and other Parramatta City Council initiatives.
