The events of Wednesday, when illegal squatters were moved out of ten NSWRA-owned buyback houses, including Pine Street in North Lismore, led most people to believe the three-year battle was over.

It would appear not.

The Lismore App received an anonymous email on Thursday.

"I wanted to let you know squatters have now moved into houses at the end of Barrie St, right in the park.

"This is a huge kick in the face for people still waiting on buybacks. More funding will now be needed from the RA program to take these people to court, too, based on what happened at Pine Street. This horrible game of whack a mole continues with the poor flood victims of Lismore paying the price."

A quick drive by Barrie Street, East Lismore, confirmed signs of life in one of the houses and a dog in the yard.

A NSWRA spokesperson said, "RHP (Resilient Homes Program) continue to work with NSW Police to move on illegal occupants wherever they are identified.

"We encourage community members to call Triple Zero if they identify illegal occupants and are concerned for their safety, or email, if there is no immediate risk to safety, rhp.enquiry@reconstruction.nsw.gov.au.

The Lismore App understands that the RHP has asked its security patrols to investigate a number of properties, including Barrie Street, to confirm illegal occupancy prior to seeking Police assistance.

Once security confirms illegal occupancy, RHP requests police assistance. This has been the case for multiple properties over recent days to move illegal occupants on.
