Blue Mountains, NSW protects the area's natural assets with the Planetary Health Initiative
Blue Mountains, NSW Planetary Health Initiative
Council leaders approved the Initiative to ensure the long-term health of the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage Site. An advisory committee will work with local residents and partners on a sustainable action plan. The proposed Planetary Health Centre at the former Katoomba Golf Course enables environmental science and sustainability research. Citizen science events like the weeklong Wild Pollinator Count generate data on ecological health and engage residents in the project.
