Maldhan Ngurr Ngurra Lithgow Transformation Hub

The Lithgow site is situated in the Charles Hoskins Memorial Institute, which has undergone substantial refurbishment to become a state-of-the-art community facility known as the Maldhan Ngurr Ngurra Lithgow Transformation Hub.

The Lithgow Transformation Hub will act as a collaborative space for community, business, government, education, and industry to come together to explore a wealth of possibilities for the Lithgow region to ensure a vibrant and thriving future consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Hub’s impact will be enhanced through a diverse range of community-based partnerships, projects, events, and outreach activities.

  2. CHEERS – holistic health and wellbeing program including pop up safe spaces
  3. Activate: Incubate – activator and incubator for emerging and regenerative industries
  4. Education for Life – education program focusing on school students, the unemployed, and older residents
  5. Lithgow Sprint – immediate, powerful recoding of Lithgow’s narratives through youth voices, building to an integrated program of writing residencies, events, and mentorships.
  6. The Core – coordination and governance spine.
