Transport for NSW is inviting interested members of the community to information sessions about the proposed reinstatement of ferry wharves at La Perouse and Kurnell.
Feedback received on the initial designs for the two wharves and associated infrastructure would help inform the final design, to be released later this year.
Four sessions will be held on site to give an opportunity for the community to review the initial designs, pose any questions and provide feedback to the project team.
This feedback will be considered by the project team and used to inform the final design and the Environmental Impact Statement which will be placed on public exhibition later this year.
The proposal includes infrastructure to support the operation of each wharf, reconfigured car parking and drop off zones, landscaping, wharf furniture, utilities and lighting.
Last year, Transport for NSW received positive feedback, including from the local Aboriginal community, other stakeholders and potential ferry service operators, which has all informed the current conceptual designs on display.
The project is part of a joint NSW and Australian government commitment, which received an additional $16 million boost in NSW maritime stimulus funding in late 2020 to bring the total funding commitment, including for construction, to $34 million.
A ferry service operated between Kurnell and La Perouse from the 1890s until 1974, when severe storms damaged the wharves.
Reinstating these wharves will enable the return of a ferry service, support tourism including local whale watching charters, and provide safe access for recreational vessels.
The face-to-face sessions will be held at La Perouse on Wednesday 24 February between 5pm and 7pm and Saturday 27 February between 10am and 12 noon on the lawns in front of the La Perouse Museum.
The Kurnell sessions will take place on Wednesday 17 February between 5pm and 7pm and Saturday 20 February between 10am and 12 noon in the park near where the monument track meets Captain Cook Drive.
Construction of the wharves is expected to take about two years once all planning approvals are in place.
Community feedback can be provided via the project ‘Your Say’ page https://yoursay.transport.nsw.gov.au/kamay-ferry-wharves. For more information visit https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/projects/kamay-ferry-wharves/index.html

If you guys put Don Harwin back in you’ve learnt nothing. IDC what faction… What leader challenges a covid fine when so many people did exactly the same thing and got fined. None. Then all his rigging and the epic failure Don should never work in politics again.
Last night a gathering at the NSW Parliament witnessed an extraordinary moment — the conferral of one of France’s highest honours, upon two remarkable individuals: Silas Despreaux and Damien Guérot.
This decoration is a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage.
On 13 April 2024, Australia witnessed a tragedy that will long be etched in our national memory. A brutal stabbing attack at Bondi Junction took six innocent lives and wounded many more.
In those terrifying moments, when instinct tells us to run, two men — Silas and Damien — chose to stand.
With only bollards in their hands, they ran towards the danger, towards the unknown.
They warned civilians, helped usher them to safety, and positioned themselves between a knife-wielding attacker and innocent lives.
They later joined Inspector Amy Scott — herself a hero — and offered their strength and resolve.
Their actions were spontaneous, fearless, and deeply human.
It is fitting that France has chosen to honour them — and here in Australia, we too honour them – recognising not only their courage but also how their actions reflect the longstanding friendship and cooperation between our two nations. ... See MoreSee Less

You are potentially the next premier, so now is the time to outline a grand plan to cover Sydney in fast, efficient metro lines. This can be paid for by selling land rights over existing rail corridors.
Disabled clown mp reading out an email in senate claiming he was bullied by it, absolutely soft and disgusting for someone whose entire salary and lifestyle is paid by the tax payer to think that listening to the tax payer is bullying, you are everything wrong with the liberal party and politics in Australia in general and the party will never get anywhere as long as morally bankrupt soft clowns like you stick your hand out and keep asking for our money
