BLUE MOUNTAINS TOWN PLANNING
BLUE MOUNTAINS TOWN PLANNING
The Blue Mountains presents a distinctive planning environment, combining established mountain towns and villages with significant heritage, environmentally sensitive land, bushfire constraints and dramatic landscape settings.
Development can require careful consideration of bushfire risk, biodiversity, vegetation, heritage significance, steep and constrained sites, stormwater, access and the relationship between new development and the surrounding landscape and neighbourhood character.
Whether you’re planning a new home, alterations and additions, subdivision, commercial development or heritage project, we provide practical planning advice and professionally prepared documentation to help navigate Blue Mountains City Council’s assessment process with confidence.

DEVELOPING IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS
Development within the Blue Mountains is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, significant environmental constraints, heritage considerations and the distinctive landscape and character of established mountain towns and villages.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require careful consideration of bushfire risk, biodiversity and vegetation, heritage significance, steep or constrained land, stormwater, access and servicing, as well as potential impacts on surrounding properties and the broader landscape setting.
Understanding these constraints early can help identify potential planning issues before significant time and money is committed to detailed design or a Development Application.
RURAL EXPERIENCE. BEST RESULTS
Regional and rural development can present very different planning challenges to metropolitan projects, from agricultural land and infrastructure servicing to environmental constraints, rural subdivision and larger development sites.
