Lithgow Council will receive up to $250,000 of funding under the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund to assist the region in the recovery from last summer’s horrific bushfire season.
Large sections of the local government area were impacted by the 2019/20 fires, making the council eligible for funding to support its vast recovery process. This joint Commonwealth and NSW governments funding arrangement allows investment in projects that will directly benefit recovery efforts and help communities rebuild.
The funding is available thanks to joint Commonwealth Government and State Government Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements. The BCRRF is administered by Resilience NSW.
