Lismore City Council is getting the job done in its efforts to rebuild and repair following the 2022 natural disasters, reaching a milstone of 120 projects completed under its Flood Restoration Portfolio - with many more in the final stages.
Recent competed projects include:
- Reopening of Woodlawn Road - reconnecting residents and businesses
- Restoration of Cabbage Tree Creek Bridge on Hutchinson Road - supporting community access
- Refurbishment of Upper Hollingworth Creek flood gate - boosting flood resilience
- Construction of ten new public amenities buildings, including Lismore Railway Station
With essential flood pump upgrades underway and major landslip repairs ongoing in the hills around Nimbin, expect to see even more progress over the next 12 months.
"These achievements wouldn't be possible without the support and encouragement of our community and government partners," Lismore City Mayor Steve Krieg said.
"Together, we're delivering projects that protect homes, connect communities and strengthen our city - with benefits that will be felt for years to come."
These works are jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
