Council raises concerns about proposed Woolworths development at Springwood

Council is concerned about the scope of development plans for 10 Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls – a Flora and Fauna Park.

Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill has sounded alarm as the NSW Government announces it will force its Low Rise Medium Density Housing Code onto councils across NSW, including the Blue Mountains.

Council has endorsed the Blue Mountains Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) Blue Mountains 2040: Living Sustainably and will now forward the statement to the Greater Sydney Commission, for review.

Blue Mountains City Council has extended the free green waste drop off and will waive Council development application fees for people whose homes have been destroyed by the current bush fires.

LGNSW delegates have voted unanimously to support a Blue Mountains City Council motion to seek regulatory reform of the NSW planning system, regarding the delayed implementation of development consents.

Have your say on our draft Local Planning Statement, Blue Mountains 2040: Living Sustainably from 30 September 2019 to 15 November 2019. 

Blue Mountains City Council is partnering with Wentworth Community Housing and other supporters of the ‘Heading Home – Ending Homelessness Here’ project to present a Garden Flat Expo in Springwood on 10 November. 

Blue Mountains City Council will seek exemption, for the third time, from the State Government’s new Low Rise Medium Density Housing Code due to be introduced on 6 July, Mayor Mark Greenhill said.

The Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel (IHAP) has deferred Blue Mountains City Council’s development application for 170-174 Leura Mall to allow heritage, landscape and urban design matters to be further considered.
