The current lord mayor is Pierre Esber, who was elected by a vote of councillors on 25 September 2023.

On 27 October 1938, the Local Government (City of Parramatta) Act was passed by the Parliament of New South Wales and proclaimed by the Governor, Lord Wakehurst, making the town the "City of Parramatta".

The Department of Local Government refused requests from Parramatta in 1948 and 1949 to be granted the title of "Lord Mayor".

[4] In recognition of the town of Parramatta's bicentennial (coinciding with Australia's Bicentenary), the title of "Lord Mayor" was granted on 12 December 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II on the recommendation of Premier Nick Greiner.

This made Parramatta the third Australian city that was not a capital to receive such an honour, after Newcastle and Wollongong.

Parramatta Town Hall , designed by George Allen Mansfield , has been the seat of the council since 1883. [ 9 ]
Granville Town Hall was the seat of Granville Municipal Council from 1888 to 1948 and the City of Parramatta from 1949 to 1958. It is now a heritage-listed community centre and library located in Cumberland Council area.
