Our City Vision
City Vision and Map for Action - Revised and Updated
The revised and updated City Vision and Map for Action - now called Sustainable Blue Mountains 2025 was on public exhibition from 9 April to May 2010. To find out more go to www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au/yourcouncil/integratedplanningforservices.
In July 2003 Blue Mountains City Council adopted the community endorsed 25-year Strategy for the City of Blue Mountains: Towards a More Sustainable Blue Mountains. This Strategy, which identifies the City Vision, Outcomes, Objectives and Priority Action Areas for moving towards a more sustainable future, is presented in "Towards a More Sustainable Blue Mountains - A Map for Action 2000-2025". The Map is based on an extensive community consultation process and provides a common guide for all Blue Mountains stakeholders - community, Council and external agencies - to translate the City Vision into action.
In further consultation with the community, commencing in 2007, the Map for Action has been reviewed and updated to meet the new integrated planning reform requirements for local government and renamed Sustainable Blue Mountains 2025.
In 2010 the Council implemented further consultation and engagement with residents and State Agencies on the Draft Sustainable Blue Mountains 2025 and its resourcing through a range of methods including: the Community Survey, Resident Focus Groups and a Workshop with State Agency representatives.
The Council will continue to monitor and report on the progress of all stakeholders in implementing Sustainable Blue Mountains 2025 once every four years through the State of the City Report.
