A new kayak launch deck is set to be built on River Road in Leonay, between Urbane Street and Buring Avenue, providing the community with safer and easier access to the Nepean River.

The project includes a concrete path extending from the existing footpath on River Road, a new boardwalk that connects to the river’s edge and a launch deck with upper and lower platform.

In 2023, two potential locations for launch decks at Factory Road, Regentville and River Road, Leonay were presented to the community for feedback. The Leonay location is progressing to construction after carefully considering community input, project budget and further site investigations.

Next steps

A contractor was appointed to deliver this project at the February 2025 Ordinary Meeting. Construction is expected to start in March 2025 and be complete by mid-2025
