Safer Cities

Welcome to the Safer Cities: Her Way Katoomba Main Streets Safety Project

Everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable moving through public spaces, whether they're walking to the train, heading to work, meeting friends or enjoying everything Katoomba has to offer.

Blue Mountains City Council has received funding through Transport for NSW's Safer Cities: Her Way program to work with the community to better understand how people experience Katoomba's town centre and transport precinct, and what changes could help people feel safer, more welcome and better connected.

Over the coming months, we'll be inviting the community to share their experiences through surveys, 'walkshops', pop-ups and co-design activities.

Our goal is to understand people's lived experience of safety in Katoomba town centre and co-design practical improvements that will increase perceptions of safety, particularly for women, girls and gender-diverse people.

Your feedback will help shape improvements such as lighting, accessibility, wayfinding, public spaces, public art and other streetscape enhancements.

Whether you live locally, work in Katoomba or visit regularly, we'd love to hear from you.

You can follow the project using the button on this page to receive updates and register your interest in future consultation opportunities as they become available.

CONSULTATION WILL START SOON!
