Our work takes place on Darug & Gungungurra Country. We pay our respects to the Elders in our community who continue to fight for the health and wellbeing of Country and Community. Always Was, Always Will be Aboriginal Land.
Blue Mountains Community Land Trust is a First Nations and Community led organisation working towards secure and affordable housing for local people. We are committed to community led solutions to the housing crisis that enable stability and self-determination for those most marginalised by the housing system.
