The Georges River Parklands and Chipping Norton Lake represent the largest and most significant waterbody in South Western Sydney.
They are a favourite with locals for their pathways, picnic areas, wildlife, and sporting facilities.
Now a proposed plan would, if implemented, give more access to the waterfront of this great natural asset.
The strategic masterplan focuses on four key precincts in the Georges River Parklands – Helles Park, Lake Moore, Chipping Norton Lake and Riverside Park.
It is being funded from the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s metropolitan greenspace program (MGP) grants.
The MGP enable councils to apply for funding for projects that increase access to regionally significant open space.
This plan embraces Liverpool’s vision to be a true river city and council is encouraging residents to have their say.
“Our waterways are precious, and we want to preserve them for current and future generations to enjoy. I encourage residents across the Liverpool local government area to share their ideas on what recreational and leisure facilities they would like to see across these four different precincts,” says Liverpool mayor Wendy Waller.
“Through the generous funding from DPIE, we will provide even more recreation and leisure opportunities for the community.’’
