COMMUNITY SHARES
THOUGHTS ON FUTURE
OF LEPPINGTON TOWN
CENTRE
Camden and Liverpool Councils recently wrapped up their threemonth public exhibition period of the draft Leppington Town
Centre Planning Proposal. Camden Council engaged with the
community through its Your Voice Camden online platform, as
well as at several pop-up engagement sessions and meetings by
appointment.
The draft plan outlines a vision to transform Leppington into a
thriving, integrated and lively town centre less than 20km from
the future Western Sydney International Airport. Tall buildings,
town squares and sports 昀椀elds are just some of the features of the
proposal.
The draft proposal also paves the way for:
• Up to 11,000 new apartments and townhouses over the next
20 years;
• Up to 11,000 jobs;
• New and expanded community facilities and schools; and
• New urban streets and plazas, cycleways, busways and
pedestrian laneways.
Council o昀케cers are currently reviewing the feedback from
submissions and will prepare a report back to Council.

LITTLE SANDY
BRIDGE REPAIR
The repair of Little Sandy Bridge, which
connects Camden and Elderslie over the Nepean
River, is moving along after Camden Council
accepted almost $2.5 million, co-funded by the
Australian and NSW Governments.
The bridge and the surrounding riverbank was left
signi昀椀cantly damaged after the Camden area was
devastated by four 昀氀oods in just 昀椀ve months in
2022. Each 昀氀ooding event worsened the riverbank
erosion, requiring a complete bank restoration and
new approach to the redesign and rebuild.
The funding was granted from the Community
Assets Program, administered by the Department
of Regional NSW. The grants program awarded
$70 million to successful applicants for the
repair, restoration or betterment of community
infrastructure that was damaged by the February
and June 2022 昀氀oods.
The funding will help Council deliver the design
and construction of the project, including the
repair and betterment of path access on Little
Sandy Bridge and the enhancement of the
embankments to resist future 昀氀ood events.
The design is scheduled to be completed in the
later part of 2024 and quotations for construction
completed by the end of 2024.
