We’re putting forward an alternative town site for worker accommodation as part of the Lake Lyell Pumped Hydro project — and we want to hear your thoughts.

After listening to the community, we've identified a second location within the Lithgow CBD that could bring greater economic benefits to local businesses, from the 500 workers based here over the 5-year construction period.

Two sites are now under consideration in the Environmental Impact Statement:

  1. Lake Lyell site – Magpie Hollow Road, South Bowenfels (Preferred Site)
  2. In-town site – Former Pottery Estate, Silcock Street (New Alternative Site)

We're seeking your feedback to help ensure the in-town site, if chosen, is designed to minimise neighbourhood impacts while maximising local benefits.

Why the Pottery Estate site?

  • Boosts local business
  • Close to infrastructure and amenities
  • Safe, secure, and self-contained
  • Future use potential post-construction
  • Supports protection of local heritage
