Plans revealed for $5 million fishing precinct in Penrith

Key points

• The NSW Government plans to turn two artificial lakes at Penrith Lakes into a $5 million family fishing park, due to open in 2028. The lakes are currently closed to the public.
• Ministers say the site will be safe, accessible to everyone, including women, children and people with a disability, and suit people who do not own a boat. Officials say they may later explore fishing guides and a tackle shop.
• Local MP Karen McKeown welcomed the project as a new place for local families to get outdoors.
