Lithgow City Council advises residents of the temporary closure of general access to the Portland Cemetery, due to renewal works that are currently taking place.
The works being carried out are to renew the internal road surface and upgrade stormwater drainage within the Cemetery. These works are in conjunction with the installation of a new bus stop area directly out the front of the Cemetery on Portland/Sunny Corner Road.
During the works, access is limited to ensure the safety of the public and workers during construction.
Council understands that there are families that regularly attend the cemetery to mourn and reflect, and this temporary closure will impact their visitation. The access to the Portland Cemetery is expected to be fully reinstated by Monday 30th June 2025 to the general public.
Should there be any concerns, Council requests that contact be made to the Infrastructure & Economy Department on 02 6354 9999 during business hours or via email council@lithgow.nsw.gov.au
