Usage of colour palettes and elements
Although the primary and extended colour palettes offer a great variety of choices, use of multiple colours together is not recommended. To avoid detracting from the impact of the escarpment subgraphic, only the escarpment subgraphic and its derivative forms are permitted to represent the variety of brand colours in the palette on a single page.
Aside from use of the corporate blue (Mountains) behind the escarpment graphic, only one colour should be used as a feature on an individual page.
Aside from headings, all other text must be in either black on white, or in white reversed on a solid single brand colour.
Incorrect usage
18 Blue Mountains City Council Brand Guide (1.1)
✕ Text on a solid colour should always be in white. ✕ Headings and subheadings should be corporate blue (Mountains) or corporate green (Fern).
✕ The escarpment subgraphic should be only overlaid on white, on corporate blue (Mountains), or on a suitable image.

2.2Pressures on local waterways
Pressures from urban development
The Blue Mountains LGA is unusual in that it is narrow, linear and elevated. Most urban areas sit at the top of their catchments—so the way we develop and manage our urban areas has a direct impact on local waterways.
Conventional urban development creates vast amounts of impervious surfaces in the form of roofs, roads and footpaths. This fundamentally alters the natural water balance. An aim of this strategic plan is to attempt to restore the natural water balance and hold water in the landscape.
Appendix 3 shows in detail how water flows through the Blue Mountains landscape pre- and post-urban development.
How conventional urban development changes the water cycle:
•In natural bushland, only around 15% of rainfall flows as surface runoff.
•In urban catchments, runoff increases to around 58% of rainfall, damaging waterways.
4.2Restoring the natural water balance
The figure below shows how a water sensitive approach mimics the natural water cycle, improves urban amenity, and protects downstream waterways.
Improved urban water cycle
The average Blue Mountains home generates around 240,000L of stormwater per year.
Not only is this water currently wasted, it is an environmental hazard for our waterways.
By improving the urban water cycle we can also enhance the function and appearance of town centres. Green infrastructure reduces heat islands and provides shade in urban centres, making them much more pleasant places for visitors and residents alike. Improvements to town centre amenity is likely to result in a range of other benefits such as increased social and commercial activities.
