Wentworth Falls Lake Precinct upgrades Stage 3 - Loop Walk

Council invites members of the community to have their say on Stage 3 of the Wentworth Falls Lake Precinct Upgrade. 

The concept plan focuses on upgrading the walking paths and tracks on the western side of the lake.  

This will create a continuous loop walk with improvements to safety, accessibility and environmental protection at the precinct. 

The concept plan presents this range of potential improvements, including traffic calming features to improve pedestrian safety, environmental considerations to protect the delicate hanging swamp, upgraded paths for access, and seating and viewing areas to enjoy the precinct. 

Please fill in the survey to help us determine the next stage of the plan. Your feedback is important to inform which elements should be prioritised. 

Construction on the loop walk is expected to commence during 2027, with timing subject to design refinement, approvals, funding requirements and procurement. 

Take part in the survey below by 16 November 2026

This upgrade is funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program.

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    A Plan of Management is a legal document to guide how the park will be managed. The POM divides the park into high level management zones (categories) reflecting their current use. Each zone will be managed for a different purpose; bushland, picnic areas or waterways. It establishes permissible uses, developments and the level of maintenance of the land. These plans must be endorsed by Crowns Land and Council.

    The changes permitted by the Plan of Management will enhance the space and the way the community uses it making it easier to get around, and protect the environmental values that make it so special.
