Council is calling for tenders from licensed and experienced contractors to undertake building works at Lithgow’s historic Civic Ballroom.
Council has been fortunate to receive funding from the NSW Government’s Bushfire Community Recovery & Resilience Fund to make improvements to Lithgow’s Civic Ballroom so it can be potentially used as an evacuation centre in times of crisis.
The first stage of works will involve undertaking building improvements, including the replacement of the Ballroom’s roof, structural rectifications and drainage improvements.
Contractors can access tender documents from Monday 21 February by registering with Council’s tendering platform, VendorPanel, www.vendorpanel.com.au/marketplace. Local building contractors, with experience managing subcontractors, are encouraged to review the documents.
The Civic Ballroom is a valued community asset, with a rich history, and Lithgow Council is excited to be offered funding to improve and maintain this structure with the aim of converting it to a facility that can assist local citizens during emergency events.
