The major urban centre of Lithgow nestles in a valley of that name, overlooked by the sandstone escarpments of the Blue Mountains. In addition to the major urban centre of Lithgow, the Lithgow local government area has 12 villages with mining or farming backgrounds. These smaller centres have proven to be attractive rural residential areas which, along with the broader rural areas, offer a truly unique lifestyle that harmonises its urban, industrial, and rural qualities.

Council is focused on delivering quality services as a Centre of Regional Excellence that encourages community growth and development, and contributes to the efficient and effective management of the environment, community, and economy for present and future generations.

The guiding principles of integrity, resilience, respect, and accountability define how Lithgow City Council strengthens its working environment to deliver on the aspirations of our community. For further details on Council's values, please visit https://council.lithgow.com
