SafeWork NSW has recalled an imported coloured sand product contaminated with asbestos. The current advice is to return any products to the place of purchase for a full refund; no receipt is needed. Retailers will manage the safe disposal of these products. Do not place this product in kerbside bins or take it to the Lismore Recycling and Recovery Centre, as disposal fees apply.
The Lismore Return and Earn bulk site will be closed from 17–22 November for the installation of an additional new processing machine. During this time, you can return containers at the Return and Earn machines at Southern Cross University or Goonellabah Woolworths.
Lismore City Council has made some changes to how building certification is delivered, with these services now provided by accredited private certifiers. Council will continue to handle Building Information Certificates and external plumbing inspections. Read more on these changes here.
Lightbox Lane is a biannual public art initiative that transforms a public laneway space in Lismore's CBD into a vibrant, evolving gallery, showcasing the creativity and cultural identity of Lismore. This program provides local artists, art students, and emerging creatives with a platform to exhibit their work in a professional public setting, celebrating the diverse voices and stories of our community. The initiative aligns with the Safer Cities Her Way program, which sparked the creation of public exhibition space, supporting public art that fosters inclusivity, safety, and cultural expression. Each exhibition features four selected artists, each showcasing their unique perspective on each exhibition rounds focused theme.
