Nepean River Cycleway

Alert issued Apr 29, 2025, 11:18 PM

Camden has seen extensive damage across the Nepean River catchment as a result of the four floods that have occurred since February last year, including significant bank erosion along the Nepean River Cycleway.

Council is working with engineers and geotechnical specialists to determine works that need to be undertaken to protect the cycleway moving forward. 

The playgrounds and fitness stations along the Cycleway have been reopened.

Some areas along the Cycleway are still fenced off due to significant erosion.
