It protects a very large variety of unique vegetation including hundreds of native species and exotics and provides habitats that are important for the conservation of locally threatened and in some cases very rare populations of native mammals, birds, freshwater fish, frogs and reptiles.

4.3. Vision
4.3.1. The Blue Mountains in NSW are an Australian national Treasure In 2019 the Population of NSW is approx. 8 million with 65% living in greater Sydney . The population grows by 100,000 people per annum and Greater Sydney and Newcastle have the highest population density in the state with approx. 400 people per square kilometre. Regional NSW is home to about 40 per cent of the total NSW population, and produces about one third of total NSW gross state product. It is also home to resilient and adaptive communities and places of historical and cultural significance. With high levels of natural beauty and diverse lifestyles, regional locations are attractive places to live and work. Governments may rise and fall but big ideas go on forever. Australians want to know - and Australians need to know - how their life can become better; how life can be improved for their families; not in 50 years’ time, but in our time, now. Australia needs a revolution in the way we think, the way we boost the wealth of the economy for all our citizens. We have to reestablish confidence. Not tomorrow, but today. This increase in demand and activity will boost jobs, investment and small business profits. It will stimulate the economy and create more jobs.Australia needs a revolution in the way we think. We need to boost the wealth of the NSW economy, for all our citizens. The NSW economy needs to decentralise and move away from 'All roads lead to Rome' mentality. We have to reestablish confidence for tomorrow. This increase in demand and activity will boost jobs, investment and small business profits. It will stimulate the economy and create more jobs. The growing economies of Australia and New Zealand have increased the competition for human capital to new heights, making the process of talent acquisition and retention more of a challenge for Industry. Now, and in the future, understanding modern methodologies, technology, tools, techniques, processes and obstacles to be successful in human resource management, is crucial. Human Resource (HR) professionals have a vested interest in planning for the future and steering their organisations’ human requirements now and into the future in the area of People, Processes and Technology. Senior line management and company directors and principals also have a vested interest in understanding how to position themselves and their organisations as our society and economy transitions into the future.
