“I am committed to a sustainable Blue Mountains with thriving local businesses and career opportunities for people to live and work here. Over 3 million tourists a year contribute to our prosperity as well as straining infrastructure and services. We need an economic strategy that protects and advances our major assets including our unique natural heritage, romantic built heritage, and our arts community. We also need to get our skates on with energy efficiency, renewables, waste management, footpaths and cycleways.”
