The Summerland Sunrise Rotary Club have installed a Peace Pole on the top of the flood levee in Riverside Park Victoria Street Lismore (near the Norco Butter Churn).

This is Rotary Peace Pole No. 360.

A Peace Pole is an international symbol of Peace. They display the message’ May Peace Prevail on Earth’ and usually include the message in a number of languages relevant to the city it is placed in.

The Summerland Sunrise Rotary Club has chosen the languages of Japanese ( in respect of Lismore’s sister cities in Japan ), Italian, in recognition of the early Italian settlers in this area and Cambodian, which recognises the club’s link to the Sustainable Cambodia Project through student sponsorship and village water and health upgrades.

The original Peace Pole Project was created in 1955 and by 2023, over 250,000 peace poles had been placed around the world in nearly 200 countries.
