Penrith City Council has commenced the public exhibition of five draft Plans of Management (PoMs) for community land across the Penrith Local Government Area and is inviting residents to review the plans and provide feedback.
The exhibition includes four new draft PoMs for natural areas, parks, sportsgrounds and general community use lands, as well as a site-specific PoM for the Gipps Street Recreation Precinct.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said the draft PoMs reflect the community's shared vision and priorities for the spaces.
"The draft PoMs will guide how we manage and use our valued community spaces for years to come. They have been developed in line with our community-endorsed strategic plans to reflect the community's priorities and aspirations," Cr Carney said.
The draft PoMs can be viewed on the Your Say Penrith webpage, as well as at the Penrith Civic Centre, Penrith Library and St Marys Business Centre. Submissions can be made online, via email or mail.
The public exhibition period runs from Wednesday 5 November to Friday 5 December 2025 with submissions closing at 5pm on Thursday 18 December 2025.
Public Hearing
In accordance with Section 40A of the Local Government Act 1993, Council will hold a public hearing as the draft PoMs propose new land categories.
Date and time: 5:30pm to 7pm on Thursday 27 November 2025
Location: Penrith Civic Centre, 601 High Street Penrith
