Views sought on entertainment and lifestyle precinct

Council is asking residents to view and share their thoughts on the draft Riverlink Precinct plan. The plan will guide the development of an attractive regional entertainment, tourism, leisure and lifestyle precinct centred on the beautiful Nepean River with views of the world-heritage listed Blue Mountains.

Penrith City Mayor Greg Davies said the precinct covers lands along the eastern bank of the Nepean River between the Main Western Railway Line, the M4 Motorway and Mulgoa Road.
“The Riverlink Precinct will see the area become a vibrant hub for local residents and the greater region in entertainment, tourism, leisure and lifestyle activities,” Councillor Davies said.
“The precinct will complement and link to the existing City Centre and comprises entertainment facilities as well as a mix of employment and residential uses.
“The Nepean River is the key focal point. The plan promotes high quality development that showcases and enhances connections to the river. Public access to the river will be easier through carefully planned public domain and open space.
“Council, Panthers and ING Real Estate developed the draft plan. Council now eagerly seeks your comments. Your views are vitally important if we are to develop the area in ways that enable the City to grow while keeping its unique character and special qualities.”
Residents can view the plans at Council’s Penrith Civic Centre and St Marys Queen St Centre during normal business hours and at Penrith Panthers.
