BLUE MOUNTAINS
HELP SAVE WILDLIFE
Residents and visitors travelling through the Blue Mountains will be reminded to watch out for wildlife thanks to new signage. Mayor Mark Greenhill wrote to the NSW State Government, on behalf of Blue Mountains City Council, proposing koala and wildlife signage be installed in strategic locations throughout the City of the Blue Mountains. The State Government agreed with the request.
WIRES have funded the signs and Transport for NSW will fund the installation of the seven permanent signs.
