At Tuesday evening’s Lismore Council meeting, Councillor Big Rob asked Council to support a motion to contact Transport for NSW and Janelle Saffin MP requesting a process to remove the Terania Street rail bridge as soon as possible so that Terania Street can be reopened permanently. 

Public Works has informed Lismore City Council that from 31 December 2022, it will no longer directly manage, or pay for the removal of flood waste.

A new general manager has been announced for Lismore City Council – the fourth person in that role in less than two years.

The ANZACs will be remembered on Monday with services starting from 4.30am.

The Northern Rivers community has been shocked this morning by rumours surrounding a possible confirmed COVID-19 at Lismore Base Hospital.
