The Blue Mountains Active Transport Links program aims to improve our streets for everyone, with safe and sustainable links between key destinations and towns across the Blue Mountains.
About this project
Council is working on plans for a new 2.3km pathway in the Sublime Point Road area of Leura to improve safety and access for residents and visitors.
Project status
Council has released a feasibility assessment and preferred concept option summary for the proposed route and is now inviting feedback from the community to inform the delivery and later evaluation of this project. Have your say by completing the 'Concept Option Survey' before 5pm Monday 25 August.
Grand Cliff Top Walk
A section of the proposed pathway will form part of the Grand Cliff Top Walk (indicated in red on the map below).
The Grand Cliff Top Walk (GCTW) is a joint initiative of Blue Mountains City Council and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NSW NPWS) to develop a world class 19km multi-day walk linking Wentworth Falls, Leura and Katoomba.
The GCTW connects existing tracks and pathways, completes missing links, and improves lookouts to provide a single walk that spans the entire escarpment, starting at Darwins Walk in Wentworth Falls to Scenic World in Katoomba.
With multiple street level entry points along the way, the GCTW will help to deliver our community’s vision to create a fully integrated network of sustainable, safe and accessible pathways to improve our connections with key destinations, and each other.
The GCTW represents one of the most significant investments in recreational infrastructure in the city’s history and will help to restore and preserve some of Australia’s most iconic heritage walking tracks that are over 100 years old and protect the surrounding environment against damage and erosion.
