Submissions by the LEEP Team

As part of its commitment to supporting a successful transition for the Lithgow region, the LEEP team regularly prepares submissions to government agencies, inquiries, and strategic planning processes. These submissions reflect the priorities outlined in the Lithgow Emerging Economy Plan and advocate for the needs, opportunities and aspirations of the Lithgow community. 

Each submission is informed by local data, stakeholder engagement, and the lived experience of our region. They aim to ensure that Lithgow’s voice is heard in decision-making forums and that the region is well-positioned to benefit from investment, innovation and inclusive growth. 

Below is a list of recent submissions made by the LEEP team.
