Phegans Bay Waterfront Masterplan
We're working with the local Phegans Bay community to inform the development of the Phegans Bay Waterfront Masterplan.
Once developed, the masterplan will outline the overall vision for the Phegans Bay waterfront precinct and provide a conceptual layout to guide future projects and infrastructure. The masterplan will then be incorporated into the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System Coastal Management Plan (HNR CMP) which is currently being developed.
Inclusion of the masterplan within the HNR CMP will provide opportunities for funding through the NSW Coastal and Estuary grants program and consideration for capital funding via Council budgets.
Consultation Update
Thanks to everyone who had their say on proposed elements of the masterplan and shared their ideas. We've reviewed your feedback, and you can view a snapshot of the engagement results. You can also view community comments on the interactive map. We’re now preparing the draft masterplan, and we will place it on public exhibition for further feedback before finalising it for Council adoption.

Who's listening
Why is Council developing a Masterplan for the Phegans Bay Waterfront?
Council was approached by the Phegans Bay community with concerns that the condition of the foreshore was deteriorating and that if not addressed infrastructure, including Phegans Bay Road, would be compromised. The site was subsequently assessed as a high priority for investigation and a commitment was made to work with the community to develop a masterplan outlining upgrades required to improve the amenity, access, safety and environmental integrity of the site.
How will the implementation of the Masterplan be funded?
Once developed, the Phegans Bay Waterfront Masterplan will be incorporated into the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System Coastal Management Program (HNR CMP) which is currently being developed.
Inclusion of the Masterplan within the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System Coastal Management Plan (HNR CMP) will provide opportunities for funding through the NSW Coastal and Estuary grants program and consideration for capital funding via Council budgets.

Why did Council engage on the Phegans Bay Waterfront Masterplan over the holiday period?
We leveraged an extended consultation period to include the holiday period to ensure that locals, guests and visitors have an opportunity to provide input on the Phegans Bay Waterfront Masterplan.
