Katoomba Charrette Report & Town Centre Strategy PART I - KATOOMBA’S REVITALISATION CHALLENGE 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Contents of this Report The main purpose of this document is to report the outcomes from the Katoomba Charrette and subsequent public submissions to Council, and to propose related strategies and action plans for Katoomba’s revitalisation. This report explains what the Charrette was, why we did it and what happened during it. This report explains Katoomba’s existing context, its issues and challenges, so that readers can understand what we had to work with and the reasons behind the outcomes. This report explains the proposed Charrette designs and the rationales behind them. General and specific strategies to expand employment are also detailed. This report suggests briefly what may happen next, and how the Charrette may be implemented. An implementation program is already under way, which this Report is intended to inform. 1.2 The Intended Users of this Report This report should be useful to anyone wanting to understand the Charrette in detail, or to implement its proposed designs. That includes those who may be responsible for implementing it, such as the Blue Mountains City Council and other members of a Charrette Implementation Task Force, as well as persons who may be moving to Katoomba, buying or developing properties there, or considering business ventures. 1.3 How to Use this Report The Katoomba Charrette Outcomes and Town Centre Strategies are necessarily quite comprehensive and complex, as is this Report. The detailed Table of Contents is the crucial ‘road map’ for finding specific information. Because the proposals and strategies are all so inter-dependent, users should take care to ensure that they understand a given project in its context with neighbouring proposals and strategies. Please do not expect to deal successfully with a specific project in isolation! Key sites are organised geographically into sections relating to the Town Centres Northern End, Central Area, and Southern End. This is because key sites in the Town Centre so affect each other, especially adjoining sites. Each of the three sections dealing with the key sites begins with a plan showing all its key sites. Also, an overall plan of the Town Centre, showing all the key sites, is provided in Section 5; the sites are keynoted and cross-referenced to the sections where they are explained in detail. The Report provides numbered ‘Actions’ as a guide for future implementation. 2

All aspects of this study area were open to review during the Charrette.
