A major project of Blue Mountains City Council,  Springwood Community and Cultural Facilities Upgrade, will deliver modern community and cultural facilities to the Blue Mountains region.

Council approved minor design alterations that will achieve the necessary project savings while maintaining a fit for purpose facility. The agreed changes will not have any significant impact on the functionality or performance of the project.

The Springwood Civic Centre upgrade is currently running on track and is scheduled for completion by early 2015, subject to any prolonged adverse weather conditions.

The Council is committed to building a successful future for the Blue Mountains. To achieve this we have developed Six Strategies for Financial Sustainability that we are actively implementing to improve financial sustainability of the City. A key component of these strategies is engaging the community on how best we can achieve affordable and acceptable levels of service - given our financial challenges. Three alternative OPTIONS for Resourcing Our Future have been developed for you to review and have your say on here.

Blue Mountains City Council has launched an online Customer Feedback Survey which will give residents and ratepayers an opportunity for real time feedback on their customer service experience with the Council.  

The Customer Feedback Survey aims to give Council valuable information on how well our customer services are performing overall so we know what is working well and what areas may need improving.

The Draft Waste Strategy is now on public exhibition and your feedback is invited.
