Environment Minister Matt Kean today announced that Radiata Plateau in the Blue Mountains will be incorporated into the State’s national park reserve system, ensuring its protection for future generations.
Mr Kean said the newest land purchase would protect <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-residential+land-nsw-katoomba-202438566" target="_blank">the last remaining undeveloped peninsula-plateau</a> on the upper Blue Mountains western escarpment. 
The 756 acres natural bush land which comes with approved building site last sold 45 years.
It was listed this time through Theo Poulos Real Estate. 
The 304 hectare sites is composed of five lots on one title and one separate title lot of 89 hectares.
“This site supports important wildlife corridors and nationally listed endangered ecological communities, including Blue Mountains swamps, and endangered species such as the Spotted-tailed Quoll, the Dwarf Mountain Pine and Greater Glider,” Mr Kean said.
“I am delighted to announce that we have just exchanged contracts for this important 300 hectare parcel of land, which will help secure this beautiful landscape forever. "
The NSW Government has been working towards acquiring this private property over recent months. 
“I would like to thank the community and the Blue Mountains Conservation Society for their three decade long campaign to ensure this land is protected.
“I know from the hundreds of letters I received that the plateau is widely loved by the community and its network of walking tracks are enjoyed regularly by local residents, bush walkers, climbers and bird watchers.
“The property holds significance to the Gundungurra and Dharug people and includes the state significant heritage site ‘Blacks Ladder’, which marks a traditional Aboriginal pathway into the Megalong Valley."
Once the purchase has settled, the National Parks and Wildlife Service will commence developing a plan of management to guide its protection, management and access for the public.

The Blue Mountains trophy home, The Highlands at Leura has been listed for sale.
It is the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1911 summer house built in the arts and crafts style for the once famous Fay’s shoe family.
Purcell Property agent Brenden Purcell has a $2 million to $2.2 million guide for the 2793 square metre Lachlan Street estate which was initially set in Paul Sorensen-designed gardens.

Designer and sculptor Paul Begg has listed his long-held Wentworth Falls home he created.
He turned what was once an ordinary bungalow into a <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-wentworth+falls-128253466" target="_blank">grand design of hardwood, timber, concrete and glass</a> with sustainability in mind.
Having paid $180,000 for the cottage nearly 20 years ago, Begg's initial requirement was a north facing backyard.
He had custom steel windows and doors inserted to connect to the outdoors.
The level three zoned garden features mature apple, lemon, quince, olive and fig trees, as well as three bricked garden beds for veggies and herbs.
Wollami Pine flanks the driveway with a pink rhododendron, mature dogwoods, maples and cabbage palms.
The unique homestead has two separate living arrangements.
The front of the house, with a simple closing of a door, creates a separate two bedroom, self-contained cottage with its own living area, kitchen and bathroom.
Purcell Property agents Brenden Purcell and Daniel Jennings are marketing the property, which has been a star performer on AirBnb, with a $950,000 to $980,000 price guide.
