25.01.2022 DISCOUNT CAT DESEXING FOR RESIDENTS OF THE LITHGOW CITY COUNCIL AREA. OPERATION CAT LITHGOW $50 only for desexing, vaccination and microchipping... For a limited time, the Cat Protection Society is offering $50 cat desexing plus F3 vaccination for health care card holders and pensioners who are residents of the Lithgow City Council area. Thanks to the generous support of Lithgow City Council, cats will also be microchipped at no extra charge. Desexing provides many health benefits to cats, including a reduced risk of cancers and less risk of disease and injury. Early-age desexing before four months prevents the development of unwanted behaviours such as spraying and also means the cat is less likely to wander and get into fights with other cats. The F3 vaccination protects against the deadly parvovirus, and microchipping your cat or kitten is the first step in having them registered and ensuring if they are ever lost, they can be reunited with you. Unless you’re a registered breeder, there is no reason not to desex your cat and many, many good reasons to desex them. And right now, there’s the added bonus of a financial reason: with Operation Cat, you’ll be saving $100 to $200! said Kristina Vesk OAM, Cat Protection CEO. This is our fourth Operation Cat in partnership with Lithgow City Council and local veterinarians at Bowenfels Vet Clinic, Hartley Vet and Animal Centre and Lithgow Veterinary Hospital. Working with the local community, we’re making a real difference to feline welfare in Lithgow. No one wants to see stray cats and kittens, or cats and kittens euthanased simply because there aren’t enough homes. Desexing is the only humane solution to feline overpopulation. Together we can keep cats and kittens safe and healthy, improve local amenity and protect wildlife, Ms Vesk said. Bookings for Operation Cat must be made by first phoning Cat Protection on 02 9519 7201 (Monday to Friday between 10am and 5pm). The program is limited to 80 places and to qualify, cat owners must be residents of Lithgow City Council and hold an Australian Government issued Health Care Card and make payment at the time of booking their place in the program. Operation Cat starts on Monday 2 November 2020 and concludes on 29 January 2021 or when 80 cats have been booked in, whichever occurs sooner.

23.01.2022 YOUR NIGHTLY ROADS UPDATE The rain might be easing across the region in the coming days, but water on roads and river crossings remains widespread. Check o...ut this footage of McKanes Bridge at South Bowenfel today. The Bells Line of Road at Mount Tomah remains closed in both directions between Darling Causeway and Berambing Crescent due to a landslip that's brought down several large trees. One of two westbound lanes on the Great Western Highway remains closed at Mount Victoria due to a landslip. Drivers are reminded to exercise caution and allow extra travel time. Megalong Road at Shipley Road, Blachkeath, remains closed in both directions due to a landslide. Jenolan Caves Road remains closed in both directions between Hartley and Jenolan. There have been multiple slope failures and another tree down at Hampton. Drivers can use the Great Western Highway to Bathurst then O’Connell Road to Oberon. We are prioritising assessments of the damage to our road and rail networks right across the state, and will continue to carry out emergency repair work when it is safe for our crews to do so. If you don’t need to be on our roads at the moment, then stay home and do not enter flooded waters. I'll have more updates for you in the morning.

20.01.2022 Closure of Fields Road, Hartley Vale Council wishes to advise residents of the closure of the Fields Road, due to road upgrade and sealing works. Council staff ...and contractors have commenced road upgrade and sealing works to Fields Road Hartley Vale. This work is being performed to reduce Councils maintenance costs, improve motorist safety and ensure Lithgows road assets best serve community needs. Residents and motorists should note that the road will be intermittently closed to traffic until further works are completed. The patience of affected residents and motorists is appreciated and Council advises that changed traffic conditions detours must be observed whilst travelling through the area. Council apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.

20.01.2022 At this stage we will be open this weekend 9 am to 5 pm. With the school holidays over we expect there to be less people around - however, if it gets too busy a...nd we are unable to control social distancing we will CLOSE. A lot of families and friends have been meeting up here and coming in together in groups of 10 or more - this is causing some anxiety for other customers and for our staff. Please, if possible, come in in your own family group. While we are allowed 40 plus people in the shop at one time it is more comfortable for everyone if the numbers are kept well below that and groups are small. In the event that we do close a post will be put up on this Facebook page. Thank you for your understanding and your co-operation - we know that this is a challenging time for everyone and we appreciate your support. Have a wonderful weekend. The Lolly Bug team. See more

20.01.2022 ROAD CLOSURE - JENOLAN CAVES RD Five Mile section of Jenolan Caves Road to close due to weather Motorists are advised a section of Jenolan Caves Road (commonly ...referred to as Five Mile) from the intersection with Boggy Creek Road through to Jenolan Caves House will be closed due to wet weather from 5pm today. The road closure will be in place due to the expected amount of rainfall forecast and the ongoing instability of the slopes in the area due to bushfires. The closure will be reassessed tomorrow. Motorists should plan ahead and avoid this section of Jenolan Caves Road while the closure is in place. Alternative road access to Caves House will be on Jenolan Caves Road via Edith Road from Oberon (commonly referred to as Two Mile Road) which is limited to 12-seat buses, with no trailers and caravans. The geometry makes it unsafe for vehicles larger than a 12-seat bus to use this section of the road. Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time. Plan your trip and stay informed via Live Traffic

18.01.2022 EXTREME WEATHER WARNING It is expected that windy and cold conditions will hit NSW and the ACT during the second half of this week (19-23 August) as a series o...f vigorous cold fronts cross the state. The coldest weather is expected over the weekend when daytime temperatures may drop more than 4-8C below average for many locations.

07.01.2022 Exactly 12 months ago today, the huge Gospers Mountain Fire started from a lightning strike north-west of Sydney. The fire burned for almost 80 days, and became... the biggest forest fire in Australia's recorded history. One year on, the fire has left a heart-wrenching scar on both the landscape and the communities it tore through. This is what climate change looks like. In just a few days, the Royal Commission will hand down its findings into the 2019-20 bushfire season, and it's imperative that it clearly acknowledges the role of climate change in fuelling the 2019-20 bushfires. Share this video to spread the word, and to continue pushing for strong, meaningful and effective action on climate change in Australia. https://climc.nl/311P22u
