Upgrades to the Kennett River Precinct are underway to enhance public access, improve infrastructure, and support a more resilient and sustainable visitor environment.
Community engagement for the project has now concluded, following extensive consultation that informed planning and design development at Kennett River.
With planning and design nearing completion, the project moves into construction and delivery phases.
Please check this webpage for construction updates, any changes to access, and key milestone announcements.

The project will support the growing tourism and visitor economy by delivering public infrastructure and accessibility improvements through several initiatives.
The tourism improvements will include;
- A new public toilet and a new or upgraded wastewater treatment plant in the adjoining Kennett River Caravan Park; and
- Car park and road improvements works
The revised location of the toilets and wastewater treatment plant to within the Kennett River Caravan Park will ensure maintenance efficiencies, improve traffic flow and safety within the precinct.
One of the design principles for the project was to include traffic management features that will discourage large coaches from entering the local road network into Kennett River, providing parking for small tour buses and promote safer pedestrian movement and driver behaviour.
Another key objective of the project is that new facilities are appropriate to Kennett River’s size and unique character, retaining open space areas, and views and access to Kennett River.
