Local residents had a fun time participating as the BHWRAG contingent in the annual Blue Mountains Winter Magic Parade yesterday (Saturday 24th June 2023)
We held aloft two banners, “Say No to the Croc Park” and “No Resort Development at Bodington Hill”.
The contentious proposal to build as State Significant Development in the C2 conservation zone at Bodington Hill is is known by several names.
Its proponents call it the “Blue Mountains Wildlife Park 10 Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls”. BWHRAG consider it more accurate to refer to it as the “Bodington Hill Wildlife Resort”. The NSW department of planning lists it on its portal as “Blue Mountains Wildlife and Tourism Development” and assign it the application number SSD-14793297.
But to most Blue Mountain residents it will always be known as the “Croc Park” proposal based on earlier and deeply opposed incarnations of this bad idea.
