BLUE MOUNTAINS
WELLBEING REGISTER
To help ensure the safety of our most vulnerable community members, Blue Mountains City Council is launching the Mayor’s Wellbeing Register.
The Mayor’s Wellbeing Register will allow members of the community to register vulnerable or at-risk residents of the Blue Mountains local government area, with the Council.
Locals can register for themselves, or on behalf of someone you are concerned about. Council will then contact those residents to assist them in accessing the support services they need in this challenging time, including welfare checks or emergency food boxes.
If you would like to make an addition to the Mayor’s Wellbeing Register please contact Council at goodneighbour@bmcc.nsw.gov.au or call 4723 5000 (Lower Mountains) or 4780 5000 (Upper Mountains).
WORK LOCAL
Blue Mountains City Council has received submissions from the community on a co-work space at Katoomba Civic Centre.

It is part of the broader revitalisation and beautification of the Katoomba Civic Centre that includes artworks by local artists, landscaping, repainting and improved seating.
