Environment & The Great River Walk

Nepean Business Park’s vision encompasses both Employment and Environment – providing much-needed local jobs and at the same time protecting and enhancing the environment.

The Nepean Business Park’s location on the northern bank of the Nepean River with views to the Blue Mountains escarpment and proximity of the site to the Penrith Lakes Parklands, places the estate at the heart of one of Western Sydney’s most important, ecological, recreational and scenic landscapes.
‍
The estate is 2km from Penrith CBD and includes the alignment of the proposed future connection of the Great River Walk (GRW) into the Penrith Lakes Parklands. This provides an opportunity to build this stretch of the GRW and to make a pedestrian/cycleway connection through the site to link to the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC), Castlereagh Village and the rest of the Parklands.

Precinct Capital have offered to construct an extension of the Great River Walk on 22,000m² of river-front land. The extension of the Great River Walk along the site’s boundary will provide recreational, scenic and environmental opportunities.

The business park is designed to enhance the opportunity for small businesses who are not only the largest employer in Australia but also the biggest contributor to GDP in this country.
