Wastewater Management

The East Lismore Sewage Treatment Plant provides wastewater management for a significant portion of Lismore City’s population and suffered extensive damage in the 2022 floods. A new, modern plant will be built with improved flood resilience and increased capacity to meet Lismore's long-term requirements.

The South Lismore Sewage Treatment Plant was also damaged. The affected infrastructure will be repaired and upgraded, to make it more flood-resilient.

Key project goals:

  • Major infrastructure upgrade
  • Meet the needs of our growing community
  • Reduce environmental impacts during future weather events
Funding Proudly funded by the NSW Government
Status In planning
Timeframe Delivered in stages. Estimated completion late-2027
