BLUE MOUNTAINS
NEW OWNER
Schwartz Family Company has acquired a prized Blue Mountains resort to strengthen its position as the region's premier leisure and conference provider.
Leura Gardens Resort consolidates the Schwartz Family Company presence in the Blue Mountains, joining the award-winning Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains and Leura Golf Club, all within a few minutes’ drive of each other.
Leura Gardens Resort is the 15th hotel in the Schwartz hotel network and was acquired for $25 million from the Elanor Hotel Accommodation Fund.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS
The Blue Mountains community is invited to have your say on the upgrades of three neighbourhood parks – including Medlow Park, Golden Horizons in Hazelbrook and Thomas Park in Blaxland.
Blue Mountains City Council has created an interactive survey where participants can choose what they would like in each park. The survey allows participants to prioritise what's important to them, within the funding budget. It's designed to be fun and easy to use, including for children. The $6.1 million Neighbourhood Parks Program, funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) program, is designed to improve access to nature and open spaces for all members of our community.
