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

Sad news , an absolute icon for Netball. Will be sadly missed by her many friends and family
I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Margaret over many years at camps for junior netballers - a true legend
A special lady, who gave to her community. Thinking of her family at this time.
Margaret selected my daughter Megan Shatar when she was 15 years old into the talented netball squad NSW. A wonderful netball family member xxxx
Thoughts and prayers are with the family!💜💜
A sad loss 💕
One of my greatest privileges as Netball NSW President was to present Margaret with her Legend status in 2019 - and what a witty speech she gave that night, as she always did 👏 So sad to hear the news of her passing, but so thankful for the opportunity we all had to spend time and learn from this beautiful, selfless lady. A legend always.
Margaret also took up a role on the Board of Sport NSW in the earlier years and was supportive of improving all sports across the Board. Quite a character
Corby was one of a kind who dedicated so much of her time to netball throughout NSW. She inspired so many coaches & players & her legacy will live on through so many. Thank you and RIP Corby 🌻 My condolences to all the family 💐
An amazing champion of netball !
🙏❤️

Read some of the comments on this post and you guys will realise where you are going wrong. Of the two Liberals involved in the Impact of Cannabis, one of them needs a talking to. If the Liberal Party got onboard with this it would be the first humane thing i have seen from your party in a lot of years. Only been hearing that it will be legal in 20 years since 1977. www.facebook.com/share/p/1HhsEN5FZ5/
There is no way u deserve a payrise
NSW deserves better than a government sleepwalking through crises.
Over the coming 21 months, we’ll outline our detailed policies and plans.
In the meantime, here are some of our ideas for starters:
✔️Restore the First Home Buyer Choice program, removing the burden of stamp duty for young people trying to get into the housing market
✔️Stamp duty concessions for eligible downsizers
✔️Easing the record state taxes and charges on new homes, which are crippling supply
✔️Reinstate the Active Kids Program, to help with household budgets and get our kids moving, learning and engaging
✔️Fairer payroll tax settings to support small and medium-sized businesses
✔️An AI Opportunities Action Plan overseen by a dedicated Minister, with artificial intelligence embedded across public service processes.
✔️Genuine investments in preventative health so that people can live longer, better lives.
✔️Aim for balanced budgets over the economic cycle.

An inquiry into missing persons would be a great start.
What are you doing about corruption in londonderry collect ICAC and head out
Defund this!!
Here here
This government is having to redirect money to pay for all the pay rises our first responders and most public servants deserve. That money has to come from somewhere and if it means cancelling some ‘pipeline’ projects as you call them then so be it. Nothing ever seems good enough for you. Do you not realise there is no infinite well of money to draw from??? If you think it is so wrong then stop whingeing and WORK with the incumbents to fix issues rather than just your constant whingeing.
So? Labor still gonna win next election. Liberal Party is infested with creepy perverted fat Christians like you who can’t be trusted around kids. Majority of Christians are predators and sex offenders. Nobody gonna vote for that .😂

NSW needs a government that delivers transformation.
NSW needs a government that’s responsible and competent.
I will lead a government focused on building a stronger economy where everyone in NSW can share in its benefits.
A government focused on the opportunities and the challenges of tomorrow.

Defiantly needs a government that is competent mr speakman
Mark Speakman highest of praise to you around AI announcement. Let me tell you—when you’re in it, the hesitation, the lack of ownership and the paralysis-by-analysis around emerging tech is palpable. No one knows who should lead - so no one does. This kind of leadership—naming AI as a priority, giving it a dedicated portfolio and supporting the private sector with real financial tools—sends a powerful message that NSW is ready to not just participate in the future but help shape it.
You are a great man and a fine leader. Mark Speakman. Best wishes.
Good Afternoon, 😀 HaVe A GrEaT Day! #Amazing_Work, #Great_PhoToS, #GreAt_LeAdeR
A lot said. Very little content.

Would you, if you were to form government in the future, build dams for water security and flood mitigation or bury your heads in the sand like usual Mark Speakman ?
All this opposition does is whinge and complain about the sitting government. You are an embarassment. We wouldn’t teach our kids to have an attitude or speak the way you do. You need a massive change to your public relations before people will take you seriously. You only need to look at what happened with Dutton as proof.
