Scenic Eastern Escarpment
Thanks to funding through the Western Parkland City Liveability Program, Council will be improving some of the paths and lookouts along the Scenic Eastern Escarpment from early 2021.
We are increasing accessibility, providing equal opportunity and access for all to enjoy the unique and diverse bushland that forms the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The Blue Mountains is the only city in Australia that sits within a World Heritage Area.
Scenic Eastern Escarpment is an important regional recreational space with over 16km of bush trails. Council will be improving the safety and amenity of a number of shared walking tracks and trails, lookouts, steps and stairs within Knapsack Reserve:
- Lapstone Zig Zag track to Siding Lookout
- Marges and Elizabeth Lookout
- Elizabeth Lookout track to Knapsack Bridge
- Lovers Walk to Mitchells Pass
- Marges Lookout Track to Lennox Bridge
These improvements are in line with the Scenic Eastern Escarpment Masterplan adopted by Council in May 2018 after a year of extensive community consultation.
