Construction of the new four-hectare park at Wentworth Point is progressing as efficiently as possible and we appreciate the community’s ongoing patience and understanding. To provide the community with access as soon as possible, we aim to open areas of the park in stages as they’re ready.

The shared active open space next to Wentworth Point High School and Wentworth Point Public School has been open to students since Term 1 2026.  

From Saturday 2 May 2026 this space is open to the wider community on weekends during the school term and every day during school holidays. Opening hours for general community use will be from 8am to 5pm, with these hours updated in Term 4 to reflect daylight savings. Outside of these hours the space will be prioritised for school use only.   

Scheduling for shared use arrangements of the active open space (e.g. bookings by sporting groups) will be confirmed in the future.

Sharing public infrastructure and resources between schools and growing communities offers a unique opportunity to deliver better outcomes for all and increases land use efficiency.  

Community access to the shared active open space is via the new local road and carpark east of Wentworth Point High School.   

Once works are signed off in the coming weeks, the community should also have access to the:

• shared pedestrian and cycle path, which improves access around the peninsula and to the ferry wharf 
• fitness equipment along the waterfront shared path.  

Park delivery timing

Construction is progressing as efficiently as possible and we appreciate the community’s ongoing patience and understanding.

As Wentworth Point was industrial land and we needed to update planning controls to make room for the new high school, a lot of work has been required to deliver the park.

We recently finalised the design and construction program for the last stage of works. Subject to weather, final approvals and material delivery, we now expect all areas of the park, including the playground, picnic areas and grass lawns, to be opened to the public towards the end of 2026. Some facilities or equipment may need to be finished in the new year. 

Work hours are 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am-4pm Saturdays.

Future mixed-use development

We’re in the process of selling the mixed-use site at 9 Burroway Road to its future owner. This future owner will be a like-minded developer able to deliver the buildings and realise our vision for the site, which includes a mix of apartments, new shops and a waterfront walkway.

The future owner will need to submit a detailed development application before construction of the buildings can begin. They will also manage apartment sales. 

The site sale follows approval from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in October 2025 of our development application for a revised mixed-use precinct.
