Katoomba’s Town Centre Charrette Plan of 1999 – CONTENTS

[Editor’s Note: This Web Book comprises 19 chapters, each a webpage.  It remains a work-in-progress and we expect to complete it by August 2023.  ‘The Katoomba Charrette Outcomes Report of 1999’ comprises some 133 pages and 47,000 words.  A complete copy is embedded herewith toward the end of Chapter 7, and may be downloaded, since it is a public document.  It is taking us time to summarise the report, as well as outlining the subsequent planning of Katoomba that followed.  Please bear with us].
