Hi everybody! 

Is Parramatta a regional city in NSW or it is one of the Sydney's suburbs?

It's a suburb of  the  Greater Sydney area.

It has it's own CBD etc but is only 15 km west of Sydney CBD and would be considered part of Sydney.

I work there which takes about 30-35 minutes on the train from Central station in Sydney. Parramatta is undergoing massive redevelopment at the moment. It is just about the "true" geographical centre of Sydney being, I think, about the same distance west to Penrith as it is east to Sydney CBD and the Blue Mountains trains stop there which makes Penrith a quicker journey than on the normal western line trains.
