BLUE MOUNTAINS
TRAINEES JOIN BMCC
Blue Mountains City Council is welcoming nine new Cadets, Apprentices and Trainees (CATs) to its workforce.
These new employees are enrolled in studies at a range of universities and TAFEs and are working across fields as diverse as civil construction, environmental science, engineering, strategic accounting, business administration and signwriting.
William Goodwin, of Faulconbridge, is one of Council’s new Environmental Healthy Waterways cadets and will be joined by Alan Davies, who starts work later this month. William is studying a Bachelor of Natural Science (Environmental Management) at Western Sydney University and said he is looking forward to using his cadetship to make a difference to his home and community.
“The Healthy Waterways team does fantastic work – ranging from finding out where it’s safe to swim, to heading out to schools and helping kids discover the natural wonders around them. I hope to support everything that’s currently underway and find some new ways to contribute too.”
CHARLES DARWIN WALK
Work is underway to repair Charles Darwin Walk, at Wentworth Falls, following devastating impacts from flooding in both 2020 and 2021. This major project is expected to take 18 months.
The historic and much-loved walk is being repaired with assistance from the NSW and Federal governments’ Disaster Recovery Funding. Council is contributing $440,000 to the project.
Once rebuilt, the walk along Jamison Creek will form one of the main entry points to the Grand Cliff Top Walk – a two-day 20km walk from Wentworth Falls
