Grose Valley at dawn  (Ian Brown)

The Society's theme for this election is "The Blue Mountains - Let It Be".

The Blue Mountains that we know and love continues to be under threat. Our aim is to highlight these threats in an endeavour to protect and conserve the Blue Mountains. The threats are -

• Raising the Warragamba Dam wall
• Invasive Species (cats)
• Commercial Activity in National Parks and State Conservation Areas
• Climate Change - Gas Phase Out
• Stormwater Impacts.

Candidates will be asked their position on these threats, and their response will be published.

We also propose to hold a public meeting on 25 February to which candidates will be invited to speak.

Articles are being written about the above threats - with more to be added in the months ahead.

• Stormwater.  World Heritage values and Sydney’s drinking water quality under threat (December 2022 Hut News)
• Climate Change.  Blue Mountains City Council and the Ready for Renewables Council Challenge (November 2022 Hut News)

Following a redistribution of electoral boundaries, the Blue Mountains electorate will include all of Blaxland, Glenbrook and Lapstone for this election. It now matches the Blue Mountains Local Government Area.
