The Lithgow Local Heritage Grants, which have been joint funded in partnership with the NSW Government, aims to assist in improving the heritage values of local and state-listed heritage buildings and places as identified in Council’s Local Environmental Plan.

Property owners who meet the assessment criteria may be eligible for up to $2,000 of grant funding on a dollar-for-dollar basis for small projects.

Mayor Maree Stratham said “Lithgow has a rich and diverse history which is widely recognised and celebrated by our community. For anyone in the community who has been considering undertaking a small project to help preserve or maintain these heritage items that are representative of Lithgow’s past, there is no better time than now”.

Council is encouraging landowners to apply for a grant to undertake minor projects such as external maintenance works that aim to preserve the heritage significance of an item.
