Lismore City Council will soon begin essential upgrades at the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre.
The initial project involves full pavement rehabilitation of the road between the front gate and weighbridge, including kerb reinstatement and drainage, and will repair damage caused by the 2022 natural disasters and subsequent heavy vehicle usage.
To complete the upgrades safely and efficiently, traffic management will be in place from early February to late March, subject to weather and contractor availability. Operating hours will be reduced during construction, with the waste facility and the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens closing at 1pm daily.
Council encourages residents and businesses to plan ahead and allow extra time when visiting.
Once this initial upgrade is complete, construction and remediation of roads and hardstands further into the site will begin, as part of the delivery of an exciting new Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre Masterplan.
"This is the start of a bigger vision: a safer, more efficient Recycling & Recovery Centre that supports our community and the circular economy," says Lismore Mayor Steve Krieg.
Work is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and will be undertaken by Ireland Civil Contracting.
Lismore City Council appreciates the community's patience and understanding as these important improvements are delivered.
Further updates will be shared via Council's website and social media channels.
