Council lifts restrictions on supermarket deliveries

Lismore City Council has removed all restrictions, delivery curfews and planning constraints on supermarket loading bays to help them meet current demand in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The move is consistent with current government advice.

"We are trying to proactively respond to the current surge in demand, which is expected to last at least several weeks," Lismore Mayor Isaac Smith said.

"This will assist with restocking shelves more quickly and increase the public's confidence. This is an unprecedented health event and we need to work together as a community during these challenging times."
