A storm damaged a large window at All Saints' Cathedral in Lithgow, leading to safety measures and planned repairs.

A severe storm on December 5 damaged a large window on the bell tower of All Saints' Anglican Cathedral in Lithgow, with conditions worsening by December 6, prompting the State Emergency Service to establish an exclusion zone. Temporary fencing now blocks part of Church Street, and the unsecured window poses a risk of falling debris. The cathedral remains open via alternate entrances, and services continue as scheduled. Officials plan to board up the window next week, with an insurance assessor due on December 15. Bishop Mark Calder said repair costs will likely be high due to the window’s size, scaffolding needs, and winter weather.
