Dec 11, 2018

LITHGOW, Central West, NSW, Australia – Lithgow City Council has thrown its weight behind a women’s group whose aim is to progress equal opportunities for local females.   

Councillor Cass Coleman raised the motion at the monthly meeting, crediting its success to the passionate volunteers who seek to empower other females, young and old.

“The committee would be made up of a diverse range of local women who share one common goal to improve the economic, social and physical wellbeing of women and girls across the Lithgow region,” Councillor Coleman said Tuesday.

The committee will consult the community on local issues and present the feedback directly to council.

 “All topics will be discussed from education and health to law enforcement and domestic violence, along with job security. Council will hear directly from the committee on what issues are relevant to our local women and focus on solutions,” Councillor Coleman added.

The committee will also promote and celebrate the successes, milestones and participation of local women.
