The Our River Master Plan is a strategic plan developed with the community to provide a shared vision the Nepean River's future.
The Our River Master Plan is a long term roadmap for the Nepean River Precinct - informed by the community's ideas and feedback. It sets out a framework to guide future planning and decision making, along with key actions to celebrate, activate and protect the Nepean River.
Originally developed in 2013, the Our River Master Plan has been the catalyst for more than $150 million in investment in venue, facilities and infrastructure improvements.Some of the priority projects delivered as a result of the Master Plan include:
- Police Cottage restoration
- Regatta Park upgrade
- Tench Reserve upgrade
- Boat Ramp and trailer parking
- Real Festival annual major event
Other ongoing improvements include new pathways, upgraded lighting, new viewing and fishing platforms, kayak launch pads, riverbank regeneration, and river health initiatives.
Penrith City Council is currently updating the Our River Master Plan to guide the next phase of planning and revitalisation of the Nepean River Precinct. The updated Master Plan will be exhibited for community feedback in mid 2024.
