Projects in the Pipeline

Camden Community Nursery

Council was successful in receiving $4 million in grant funding under the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program to deliver the Camden Community Nursery. This project will transform industrial land in Topham Road, Smeaton Grange into a community nursery facility that will propagate and grow local native plants for the local community and a range of restoration projects throughout the Camden LGA, including our waterways. The Nursery will be built as part of a shared facility on the site that will include the new Camden Animal Shelter.

Information about the project, including concept plans, is available on Council’s community engagement portal https://yourvoice.camden.nsw.gov.au/cas

Nepean River Corridor Study

The Nepean River Corridor Study will examine the Nepean River and adjacent lands throughout the Camden LGA to identify opportunities to provide additional open space, a continuous network of pathways and recreational access to the Nepean River. The study also aims to identify works that seek to protect, restore, and enhance the condition of the river including native vegetation and tree canopy.

The study is expected to identify short, medium and long term actionable strategies that will identify ways Camden Council, in partnership with the NSW Government, can continue to protect the Nepean River, provide new open spaces and access to natural areas. The project will also seek to complete missing links in the Great River Walk, the Sydney Green Grid and improve connectivity to regionally significant landscapes to the north and south of the Camden LGA.

A consultant has been engaged to conduct the study with commencement of the project in mid-2024 and completion by mid-2025.
