Council will be reopening those recreational and community assets where it can be reasonably expected that the public can comply with social distancing restrictions.
Restrictions still require that people keep a distance of 1.5 metres from others, and the maximum of one person per four-square metre rule can be followed.
Over the coming days, Council will reopen the following facilities for public use:
- Campgrounds;
- Parks;
- Reserves;
- Skate parks;
- Public BBQs; and
- Sports grounds.

Other assets that are currently open for use include:
- Golf courses;
- Tennis courts;
- Playgrounds;
- Fitness equipment; and
- Dog parks.
The JM Robson Aquatic Centre and community halls remain closed to the general public at this time.
Council said the health of the Lithgow community remains of utmost importance.
While a tighter regime of cleansing and sanitation has been implemented for those assets permitted to reopen, residents are advised that strict adherence to the requirements of the Public Health Order remains mandatory.
Council takes advice on all public health matters from the State and Federal health departments and may need to update its response should the situation change.
