The CommBank Bushfire Recovery Grants are awarded to community organisations to help them rebuild important facilities and infrastructure that were lost in the fires.

From Lithgow, to Blackheath, the list of local organisations that received the grant and are on the road to recovery include:

CommBank Head of Community Investment Nathan Barker, said while the immediate danger of the bushfires has diminished, it's by no means over for those affected.

"We're proud to be able to provide real support to our local community, and know that these grants will go a long way to making sure these businesses are ready to reopen their doors in the near future," he said.

"After what has been a challenging six months for many, we'd like to encourage other organisations in a similar position to come forward and apply for the grant."
