Lismore City Council reached an important milestone recently when it completed its 120th flood restoration project following the 2022 natural disasters, with many more to come in the final stages.  

Some of the recently completed 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, we can 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.
