Penrith Beach, dubbed 'Pondi' by locals, is set to reopen this week after the state government successfully negotiated with the private landowners.
After a week of soaring temperatures, Penrith 's" Pondi " beach is set to reopen for this summer season, with locals finally told when they can dip their toes at the Western Sydney swimming spot. Penrith Beach, dubbed" Pondi " by locals, is set to reopen this week after the state government successfully negotiated with the private landowners.
Pondi will be operational from Saturday until the end of April 2025, and will remain open on Christmas Day. The opening date was speculated to have been a subject of debate between the Minns government and the landowners as negotiations over the continued development of the Lakehouse and Southbank precinct site remains ongoing.
On Wednesday, the Minns government said the opening of Pondi was a"trial", and deemed it a success considering the turnout of people, and announced it was committing $2.5 million to reopen the beach.
