The Lithgow Council's Ability Awards is one way they can acknowledge the people who play an important part in the community.
The call for nominations went out to the wider community and Council received an overwhelming list of people and organisations who are making an amazing contribution to our town and region.
They would like to give a big congratulations to all the nominees and winners.
