Work is now underway to build a new kayak launch deck at River Road in Leonay. If you’re walking or driving in the area, you may notice some construction fencing, workers and heavy machinery in the area.

Construction will take place during standard working hours (7am-5pm) and during this time residents and pedestrians may experience some noise, and minor traffic disruptions.

If you’re walking or driving in the area, please take note of any detours in place for your safety.

When complete, the project will deliver:

  • new launch deck with upper and lower platform
  • new boardwalk leading to the water’s edge
  • new pathway connecting to existing path on River Road.

Construction will be finished by mid-2025 (weather dependent).

This project is jointly funded by the NSW Government in association with Penrith City Council.
