Planetary Health and Sustainability is at the heart of our Community Vision for the City of the Blue Mountains

It began in 2000 with the Community Visioning Project – Blue Mountains Our Future. Between 2000 and 2003, over 6,000 people from the Blue Mountains community shaped the ‘community-owned and Council-led’ City Vision and Map for Action 2000–2025: Towards a More Sustainable Blue Mountains.

The Map for Action was further updated in 2007 and in 2010 to meet NSW Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements.

The Blue Mountains Sustainability Model developed by Council in the early 2000s, recognises the inherent connections between the quality of life of people and all other life on the planet.  Download the Blue Mountains Sustainability Model
