About the Project
The Upgrade of the Katoomba Falls Visitor Precinct Project seeks to drive nature-focused tourism and recreation, as well as an improved night time visitor economy by delivering greater accessibility to Katoomba Falls Reserve and the World Heritage Area and improved visitor facilities. The recent development of the Katoomba Falls Nightlit Walk, a 1.3km walk providing floodlit views of the falls and cliff lines has resulted in a marked increased in visitation. The project will deliver improved visitor facilities, in particular traffic management, parking, amenities and connectivity to other key attractions and the town centre, and will improve visitation capacity.
