You may have seen an announcement from the NSW Government recently about development of an iconic area of Lithgow in the Blue Mountains into an Eco-Tourism precinct.

This has certainly divided opinion with some applauding the announcement, and others concerned about what it actually may mean for recreational access to the area for groups like 4WDers.

Our mates at 4WD NSW and ACT Inc. are part of the planning process for this project, and looking to ensure that the views, ideas, and concerns of 4WDers are considered in the development.

This is your chance to have your say on how this all happens. But you need to hurry because the first meeting regarding the project is on December 3.

To share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns, email lithgowproject@4wdnow.com, or comment below.
