Recent stories, information and updates regarding the Lismore Elections
Locals from Goonellabah and Lindendale have called out the proposed Goonellabah industrial precinct at 1055A Bruxner Hwy and 245 Oliver Ave as being the wrong use of the site. The recovery process following the February 2022 flood has been slow, and many people are still struggling to regain normality in their lives. Lismore and Ballina child protection caseworkers stopped work to protest outside the defunct Community Services Centre in Lismore yesterday after two years of working without an office. They have been joined by Ballina child protection caseworkers who had their office shut in January. In February and March 2022, our region was subject to a series of weather events that causeed one of the nation’s worst recorded flood disasters. The economic impact of a natural disaster can be felt far beyond the damage to housing and infrastructure. A public hearing into insurers’ responses to the 2022 flood was held in Lismore last Thursday, with one local insurance brokerage business owner describing the compact that exists between insurers and society as ‘broken’. It’s been a long wait, but two years on from the 2022 flood REDinc in Lismore have announced the official opening of a new Performing Arts Centre. Springing to life in the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens this April school holidays, Understory is a magical, interactive theatre adventure created for children by Roundabout Theatre.
Bridge expansions, upgraded pumps, enhanced evacuation routes and nature-based projects are just a few of the 36 projects being rolled out as part of the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program.
The Albanese Government has provided $150 million to the... Northern Rivers Peace group, Remembering and Healing is inviting all community members to a peace gathering on the eve of ANZAC Day. Walking through Lismore’s elegant Starcourt Arcade, a new burst of colour appears in one of its little shops, instantly prompting two children to squeal in delight: ‘Legoooooo!’.

One who is happy with the sobriquet ”Big Bob” should not be seriously considered for public office.
That’s Big Rob no matter big anything.
He’s a Big Dill – and I don’t mean a pickle.
Eve, this person is just a divisive meddler and deserves no attention, at all. Thank you for providing this space to see what candidates have to say. Some of them live in fairyland and will learn a hard lesson if they get voted in! Some very primitive thinking amongst some of the newbies!!!
Hi Charles, I think it’s only fair to give all candidates the same opportunity – that way no one can say they have been hobbled. I am just publishing their responses. If I didn’t ask everyone, you can be sure folk would jump up and down and carry on. This way, the candidates get to show their true colours (and pizza tastes) and they can either build their own platforms or dig their own graves.
cheers, Eve
Eve, I am totally confident that you would do only the right thing. Nobody has anymore integrity than you.
